The objectives of the study were to determine the antibiotic resistance of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) isolated from kefir made from Etawah goat milk. A total of 25 isolates were isolated from etawah goat milk, yogurt and kefir. LAB isolates were resistant to Ceftazidime (Caz, 100%), Ceftriaxone (Cro, 100%), Clindamycin (Da, 100%), Lincomycin (Li, 100%), Rifampicin (Rd, 100%) and Tobramycin (Tob, 100%). The bacteria were susceptible to Sulphamethoxazole-Trimethoprim (Sxt, 60%) and Tetracycline (Te, 40%). The percentage of antibiotic resistance of LAB was found to be in the range between 40 to 100%. The presence of antibiotic resistance in good bacteria may introduce the horizontal genetic transfer to bad bacteria which has the potential to disrupt human health.
