Abstract
An outbreak of drug-resistant Salmonella anatum was detected in horses at a veterinary clinic and university veterinary medical teaching hos pital. A similar pattern of drug resistance was identified in isolates oi S anatum and other enteric bacteria cultured from the environment. Outbreaks of infection caused by Salmonella spp may be contained or p revented by use of rigorous cleaning and management strategies.
