The present study was carried out to find out the occurrence and types of present in street vended foods and associated environment, and their resistance pattern against various antibiotics. About 1075 street vended food and associated environment samples were processed for isolation and confirmation of different spp. by targeting gene specific A gene and serotype specific I, and genes by PCR.
