The leading food-borne pathogens such as Salmonella. The majority of human infection of Salmonella is related to the ingestion of contaminated foods such as poultry, beef, pork, egg, milk, cheese, seafood, fruits, juices and vegetables. A global estimation by WHO indicated that in 2005, nearly 1.8 million people died from diarrhoeal diseases primarily due to the consumption of contaminated food and drinking water . Generally non-typhoidal Salmonellosis in humans usually is self-limiting confining to gastrointestinal tract, but when infection spreads beyond the intestine, or when immunocompromised persons are affected, it requires an appropriate therapeutic intervention with antibiotics. In recent times, another major concern is the occurrence of multi-drug resistance among the Salmonella in food stuffs. It is presumed that the extensive use of antibiotics, especially in livestock production, may have resulted in the increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance in food borne Salmonella. Occurrence of such widespread multi-drug resistance among an array of bacterial pathogens, presents a deep predicament in the choice of drugs.
