The study was designed with a view to isolate, identifies and characterizes ＂Salmonella＂ species from washing and rinsed water of broilers in pluck shops at Sreepur of Gazipur district in Bangladesh during the period from December 2011 to May 2012. A total of 30 samples collected from the different layers of drums of pluck shops' were subjected to bacterial isolation and identification by using cultural and biochemical techniques. Furthermore, the isolated ＂Salmonella＂ species were characterized by antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Among the 27 positive ＂Salmonella＂ isolates 11.11% (n=3) were ＂Salmonella pullorum＂, 29.83% isolates (n=8) were ＂Salmonella gallinarum＂ and the rest 59.26% isolates (n=16) were ＂Salmonella typhimurium＂. In case of motility test performed by MIU media and hanging drop slide method, 40.74% isolates were non-motile and 59.26% isolates were motile. ＂Salmonella spp.＂ were resistant to doxycyclin and erythromycin. However, most of the ＂Salmonella spp.＂ were susceptible to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and gentamicin. Out of 27 ＂Salmonella＂ isolates, 75% ＂Salmonella typhimurium＂, 100% ＂Salmonella gallinarum＂ and 100% ＂Salmonella pullorum＂ were detected as multidrug resistant. The findings of the study revealed the presence of multidrug resistant ＂Salmonella＂ species in washing and rinsed water of broilers in Pluck shops at Sreepur of Gazipur district in Bangladesh.
