				Abstract 
 
              Aim: 
              The present 
              investigation was conducted to isolate and characterize 
              Salmonella Gallinarum from an outbreak of fowl typhoid in 
              layer birds.  
              Materials and 
              Methods: 
              Clinically ill and 
              dead layer birds from an outbreak were investigated. History, 
              clinical signs, and postmortem lesions were suggestive of fowl 
              typhoid. Postmortem samples including heart blood, intestinal 
              contents, pieces of ovary, and liver were collected and processed 
              immediately for bacterial culture, serotyping and antibiotic 
              sensitivity tests. Isolates were further screened for the presence 
              of extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) (blaTEM) 
              gene by polymerase chain reaction.  
              Results: 
              On the basis 
              of cultural, staining and biochemical characteristics; three 
              bacterial isolates were confirmed as S. Gallinarum. On 
              serotyping, somatic antigen O: 9 and 12 with nonflagellated 
              antigen were detected in all three isolates. Isolates were 
              intermediate sensitive to amoxycillin, amoxyclav, gentamicin and 
              ciprofloxacin and resistant to most of the antibiotics including 
              chloramphenicol, ampicillin, ceftazidime, cefexime, cefepime, 
              azithromycin, nalidixin, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, and 
              streptomycin. Two isolates were found to harbor ESBL (blaTEM) 
              gene.  
              Conclusion:
              Beta 
              lactamase producer S. Gallinarum was confirmed as cause of 
              increased mortality in layer birds during present investigation. 
              Existence of multi drug resistant Salmonella poses serious 
              threat to poultry industry in Chhattisgarh.
