Other microorganism isolated were Staphylococci 33.33% and non-lactose fermenter 16.66%. Enrofloxacin was the most effective antibiotic (66.66%), followed by Gentamycin (58.33%) and Amoxicillin sulbactam (50%), where as 58.33%, 66.66% of isolates were intermediate to Ceftriaxone, Cefoperazone respectively, where as 66.66%, 75% of isolates were resistant to Penicillin-G, Methicillin respectively.
