Objective  Increase in antimicrobial resistance is a threat to health sector globally. Surveillance on the spread and emergence of antimicrobial resistance is therefore invertible. This study investigated prevalence of  Salmonella  and  Escherichia coli , molecularly characterized their antimicrobial resistance patterns and spread among resistant isolates from chicken droppings.    Results  A total of 150 chicken households were selected randomly within Nairobi and fresh chicken droppings collected.  Salmonella  and  Escherichia coli  were isolated and antimicrobial susceptibility test carried out. Beta-lactamase genes and class 1 integrons were determined among amoxicillin resistant isolates. Isolates carrying TEM gene were further subjected to (GTG) 5  PCR genotyping. Of the analysed samples, 57% and 12% contained  Escherichia coli  and  Salmonella  respectively. Most of the isolates were susceptible to the tested antibiotics with exemption of 53% of the isolates that were resistant to amoxicillin. The isolates were detected with TEM (46%), CTX-M (18%) resistance genes and class 1 integrons (25%). The study reveals presence of beta-lactamase genes and class 1 integrons across  Salmonella  and  Escherichia coli  isolates from droppings of reared chicken. Therefore, the wide distribution of chicken and their fecal waste is likely to increase development of antibiotic resistance.
