The purpose of this study was to determine the occurrence of different\n                    <jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    serotypes, antimicrobial resistance patterns and genotypic relatedness of recovered isolates. A total of 370 samples including faecal (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 314), feed and water (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 26) and caretakers stool swabs (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 30) were collected from 40 different wild animal species in captivity, their caretakers, feed and water in four zoological gardens and wildlife enclosures in India. Salmonellae were isolated using conventional culture methods and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility with the Kirby\u2013Bauer disc diffusion method.\n                    <jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    isolates were serotyped and genotyping was performed using enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) PCR and 16S rRNA sequencing.

While the majority of the\n                    <jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    isolates were pan-susceptible to the commonly used antibiotics. Seven (43.7%; 7\/16) of the isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic and one isolate each among them exhibited penta and tetra multidrug-resistant types.
