In the present study, faecal and blood samples were collected, aseptically, from an elephant arrived to the Veterinary Clinics of the College. Immediately, samples were used for bacterial isolation. A bacterial isolate, isolated from the faecal sample of an elephant was identified at the genus level to be of Escherichiaspecies by adopting Enterobacteriaceae identification kit used for studying biochemical characteristics and carbohydrate utilization tests (Gram negativebacilli showing mainly ONPG positive, oxidase negative and nitrate reduction positive). Mueller Hinton’s agar (MHA) was used to conduct antibiogram assay by using the faecal culture. A total of 14 number of antibioticsfrom 7 different groups were utilized in the investigation namely Chloramphenicol, Ciprofloxacin, Ofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Nitrofurantoin, Norfloxacin, Tetracycline, Streptomycin, Amoxyclov, Amikacin, Ampicillin, Doxycycline hydrochloride, Penicillin G and Erythromycin. Only two antibiotics, Levofloxacin (Quinolone group) and Nitrofurantoin (Nitrofuran antibacterial) were found to be sensitive in the test.
