Abstract: The study has been undertaken in the frame of an initiative of WHO to see the activity and efficacy of the antibiotics that are in use and currently available on human medicine service and veterinary medicine service. The methodology of the study has to do with evaluation of resistance against antibiotics of Enterobacteriaceae family circulating in Albania in order to clinically control colibacillosis and salmonellosis antigenic characterization of Salmonella sp. and Escherichia coli isolated from birds clinically affected by colibacillosis and salmonellosis through serotypization process for epidemiological purposes. The study attracts the attention of the producers of antibiotics to produce antibiotics that have greater aggressiveness against microbes. Resistance of 284 isolates of E. coli and Salmonella sp. against 14 tested antibiotics. The highest levels of resistance for Salmonella sp. was seen for Tetracycline (100%) and Furazolidon (100%). For E. coli isolates the highest level of resistance were noticed against Oxytetracicline (98.1%), Tetracicline (97.2%) and Doxyciclin (90.2%). Presence of antibiotic resistance strains of E. coli and Salmonella sp. in poultry breeding industry in Albania is very high. This fact is a major concern for veterinary public health.
