Salmonella is one of the most important pathogenic genera implicated in food borne bacterial outbreak and diseases. In the present study a total of 55 food samples were collected from various street vended food shops and were used to check the presence of Salmonella spp. Results showed that about 40 (73%) samples were found contaminated with Salmonella spp. it was found that S.typhimurium was most prominently found (37.5%) followed by S.typhi (30%), S.paratyphi (17.5%) and S.enteritidis (15%). All the 40 isolates were checked for the antibiotic susceptibility pattern reveals that most of the isolates showed multiple drug resistance (MDR) which might cause public health hazards if these antibiotic resistance gene transfer to human.
