    abstract = {This study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of <I>Salmonella</I> sp. and to determine their susceptibility to antibiotics in apparently healthy slaughtered sheep. In this research, a total of 600 (300 rectal and 300 vaginal) swabs taken from sheep were used as materials. A total of 9 (1.5%) <I>Salmonella</I> sp. were isolated from samples. Of the 9 <I>Salmonella </I>sp., 6 (2%) were isolated from rectal swabs and 3 (1%) <I>Salmonella </I>serotypes from vaginal swabs. <I>Salmonella</I> strains were serotyped as <I>Salmonella saintpaul</I>. All <I>Salmonella</I> strains were found to be susceptible to ampicillin, enrofloxacin, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, gentamicin, neomycin, chloramphenicol, spectinomycin, cephalothin, amoxycillin/clavulanic acid, trimethoprim+ sulfamethoxazole, nalidixic acid and penicillin G (except 2 isolates) whereas, they were resistant to erythromycin and novobiocin. This is the first time, <I>S. saintpaul</I> was isolated in rectal and vaginal swab samples of the sheep slaughtered in abattoirs in Turkey.}
