Out of 100 mastitis suspected milk samples, 24 samples were positive for Escherichia coli (). The antimicrobial resistance profile of the tested Escherichia coli isolates to 16 different antibiotics revealed that all 24 isolates were sensitive to gentamicin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol (100%) whereas, resistant to ampicillin and penicillin-G (100%). | Antibiotic resistance profile of Escherichia coli from bovine mastitic milk samples of Bikaner region
