    abstract = {This study was determined to prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of <em>E. coli</em> and <em>Salmonella</em> isolated from wild animals at Khon Kaen Zoo, Northeast of Thailand. The 140 samples were collect from reptile
(34), birds (46) and mammals (60) by rectal swab technique during August-October 2016. Wild animals
infected <em>E. coli</em> and <em>Salmonella</em> were 66.4 and 10.7%, respectively. All isolations were tested for antimicrobial
sensitivity against ampicillin, ceftazidine, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid,
streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim and tetracycline. <em>E. coli</em> and <em>Salmonella</em> isolates were resistant
to 40.9, 6.5, 9.7, 2.2, 4.3, 2.2, 32.3, 17.2, 36.6% and 13.3, 6.7, 13.3, 20.0, 13.3, 6.7, 73.3, 13.3, 6.7%,
respectively. Infection of <em>E. coli</em> and <em>Salmonella</em> in wild animals was impact to animal health, especially, infant
animals besides infected animals were carriers and can spread to other animals, environment and their keepers.
The infection can be minimized by good management and good quality of feed.}
