Abstract: Studies on the prevalence of pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae and their antibiogram status were carried out in goat population affected with pneumonia and enteritis in the villages around Jaipur, Rajasthan. A total numbers of 126 samples i.e. 72 nasal and 54 enteric samples from goat population were subjected for identification of Enterobacteriaceae pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility test (ABST). The major pathogens identified in this study were Escherichia coli, Proteus, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Providencia species. The ABST revealed drug sensitivity of 94.4% to amikacin, 88.8% to gentamicin, 83.3% to ofloxacin, 44.4% to tetracycline and doxycycline, 38.8% to streptomycin and ampicillin/sulbactam, 27.7% to ceftriaxone, 22.2% to amoxicillin/clavulinic acid, 16.6% to co-trimoxazole, 11.1% to ampicillin and imipenam, 5.5% to penicillin – G and cefixime, and 0% to cefotaxime. It was found that the isolated colonies of enterobacterales showed 100% sensitivity to levofloxacin only. The study conveyed the prevalence of major enterobacterales and their associated risk factors for the development MDR in goat population.
