Burung walet termasuk dalam keluarga apodidae, yang dalam bahasa yunani berarti "tanpa kaki”. walet termasuk dalam burung diurnal dimana selalu ada di luar sarang pada siang hari untuk mencari makan. di beberapa tempat, orang sudah mulai membudidayakan walet dengan cara “dirumahkan”. agar walet merasa nyaman tinggal di sarangnya, maka perlu dilakukan pencegahan hama pengganggu seperti tikus, semut, kecoa, cicak, dan tokek. selain membuat walet takut, binatang tersebut berpotensi menjadi vektor atau media penularan bakteri, virus, dan bibit penyakit. bakteri patogen asal hewan yang telah mengembangkan resistensi terhadap antibiotik dapat mentransfer gen resistensi tersebut ke bakteri lain. penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui persentase resistensi antibiotik pada salmonella sp. isolat asal walet sarang putih (aerodramus fuciphagus). penelitian ini menggunakan metode cross sectional study yang dikerjakan sesuai dengan disk difusi kirby-bauer (1966). hasil uji resisten 9 sampel isolat salmonella sp. terhadap antibiotik menunjukkan resisten terhadap antibiotik streptomisin (100%), kolistin (22%) dan cloramphenicol (89%); intermediet terhadap antibiotik ciprofloxacin (100%), kolistin (78%) dan cloramphenicol (11%); dan sensitif terhadap antibiotik imipenem (100%), streptomisin (0%), cloramphenicol (0%), kolistin (0%) dan ciprofloxacin (0%). kesimpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan isolat bakteri salmonella sp. dari burung walet telah resisten terhadap beberapa jenis antibiotik.

Swiftlets belong to the Apodidae family, which in Greek means "without legs". Swiftlets are diurnal birds which are always outside the nest during the day to look for food. In some places, people have started to cultivate swiftlets by "keeping them at home". In order for swiftlets to feel comfortable living in their nests, it is necessary to prevent pests such as rats, ants, cockroaches, lizards, and geckos. In addition to scaring swiftlets, these animals have the potential to become vectors or media for transmitting bacteria, viruses, and germs. Pathogenic bacteria from animals that have developed resistance to antibiotics can transfer these resistance genes to other bacteria. This study aims to determine the percentage of antibiotic resistance in Salmonella sp. isolates from swiftlets (Aerodramus fuciphagus). This study used the Cross Sectional Study Method which was carried out according to the Kirby-Bauer Diffusion Disk (1966). The results of the resistance test for 9 samples of Salmonella sp. isolates. Antibiotic resistance showed resistance to streptomycin (100%), kolistin (22%) and chloramphenicol (89%); intermediate resistance to ciprofloxacin (100%), kolistin (78%) and chloramphenicol (11%); and sensitivity to imipenem (100%), streptomycin (0%), chloramphenicol (0%), kolistin (0%) and ciprofloxacin (0%). The conclusion of this study shows that Salmonella sp. bacterial isolates from swiftlets are resistant to several types of antibiotics.
