This research investigated the prevalence of Salmonella species in meat, chicken, fish, prawn, and milk samples, and their resistance to antibiotics was examined. The study findings demonstrated varying levels of Salmonella contamination in different food types, including meat and chicken samples showing higher prevalence rates compared to fish, prawn, and milk. Notably, the isolated Salmonella strains exhibited resistance to multiple antibiotics, raising concerns about the potential dissemination of antibiotic-resistant strains through the food chain and its implications for public health. The study underscores the critical importance of continuous surveillance in monitoring Salmonella prevalence and antibiotic resistance in food products. It also highlights the significance of promoting responsible antibiotic usage in both human and veterinary medicine to safeguard food safety and public health.
