This study was conducted on retail chicken meats to determine the prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria.The prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in retail chicken meat was determined in hail region, Saudi Arabia. A total of 50 samples were collected and examined for the presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. E.coli was the most prevalent isolates (48%) followed by S. aureus (24%) and Salmonella (20%). Some of them were multi-drug resistant (MDR). Resistance of S. aureus, E.coli and Salmonella spp < em>. to tetracycline was most frequent at 25%, 79.16% and 60%, respectively. These findings suggest that the abundant presence of multi-drug resistant bacteria in the chicken meat may have a profound effect on future treatment options for a wide range of infections caused by bacteria.
