Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Salmonella isolates collected as part of the National Animal Health Monitoring System’s (NAHMS) feedlot study (1994) and cow-calf study (1997) were evaluated for susceptibility to a panel of antimicrobics using either breakpoints (feedlot) or minimum inhibitory concentrations (cow-calf). Overall in both populations the most common resistance was to tetracycline, streptomycin, and sulfamethoxazole. The percentage of resistant isolates varied by serotype. With the exception of S. Typhimurium multiple resistance among these isolates was rare.
