Background: The global community is confronted with a significant challenge in the form of antimicrobial resistance, which affects both public and animal health. This phenomenon is greatly influenced by the widespread use of antimicrobial agents in various domains, including human medicine, veterinary practices, and other sectors. The increasing prevalence of drug resistance in E. coli and Salmonella spp. strains isolated from humans and animals has sparked a vigorous debate concerning the potential risks to public health associated with the utilization of antibiotics in animal production. Hence, the objective of this research was to assess the susceptibility of Salmonella enterica to antimicrobial agents and to detect the presence of Escherichia Coli K99 in diarrheic calves within the Awash Fentale District of the Afar Region, in Eastern Ethiopia.
