Abstract
There is increasing concern about the rapid emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria and antimicrobial resistance has been considered as the most vital health issue of 21st century by WHO. The close contact between animals and people offers favourable conditions for bacterial transmission and this initial study attempts to isolate selected pathogens of common interest in man and animals from hand swabs and nasal swabs of animal handlers, viz., Staphylococcus
spp., Streptococcus spp., Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. and to determine their antimicrobial resistance pattern both phenotypically and genotypically.
