    A total of 272 Salmonella strains have been isolated from manure, environment or post washing and disinfection evaluation of 100 finishing barns with a high Salmonella seroprcvalence, as identified by the Quebec Salmonella surveillance and control program in 2008. In order to standardise the sampling scheme and allow future comparison, a single randomly selected strain per farm has been considered. The 15 antimicrobials used by the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS) as well as enrofloxacin, neomycin and apramycin, were tested. Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) (40%), S. Derby (SD) (25%), S. Infantis (7%) and atypical Salmonella (enterica I:4,12:i:- and enterica I:4,5,12:i:-) (7%) were the most prevalent strains. Nine Salmonella isolates were fully susceptible, 46%, 42% and 3% of the isolates had respectively less than 5 antimicrobials, 5 to 8 antimicrobials and more than 9 antimicrobials in their resistance patterns
