Background   Salmonella  species are among the most common food borne pathogens worldwide and their infection is one of the major global public health problems. During the last decade, multidrug resistant  Salmonella  species have greatly increased in humans and animals. So the aim of this study was to determine prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of  Salmonella  in apparently healthy slaughterer cattle and personnel working at the Jimma abattoir.    Method  A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to September 2016 at the Jimma abattoir. A total of 440 samples consisting of carcass swabs ( n  = 195), cattle feces ( n  = 195), and human stool ( n  = 50) were collected. Standard isolation and identification procedures were performed to identify  Salmonella  isolates. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were also carried out on each isolate.    Results  The overall proportion of  Salmonella  positive isolates was 9.5% in all samples, of which 11.3% were from carcass swabs, 5.6% from cattle feces, and 18% from human stool. All isolates were resistant to tasted antibiotics except Ciprofloxacin.    Conclusion  This study ascertains that Salmonella were widely distributed and significant proportions have developed resistance to routinely prescribed antibiotics. Therefore, there is needed to implement urgent intervention programs in study area.
