One hundred and sixty–four feacal samples from six different kinds of animals (chickens, cow, pigs, goats, cats and dogs) were examined for enterotoxin producing Escherichia coli and Enetrohaemorhagic strain 0157:H7, using Suckling mouse assay, ligated rabbit illeal loop assay and 0157:H7 antiserum respectively. A total of 90(54.9%) Escherichia coli strains were isolated. EHEC 0157:H7 strain was not detected, but 6(6.7%) isolates were found positive for heat-stable enterotoxins (ST) and 5(5.6%) isolates for heat- labile enterotoxins (LT). The Escherichia coli isolates were tested for susceptibility to 10 antibiotics using the disc diffusion method. Gentamycin appeared to be the most active antibiotic as only 5.5% of the isolates were resistant to it, while penicillin was the least effective with 84.4% of the isolates resistant to it. All strains showed multiple resistance to at least 7 antibiotics. Many of the animals screened had antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli most of which were however not Enteropathogenic
