Isolation and characterization of multidrug resistance bacteria from hospital sewage samples, Maharashtra, India

Multiple antibiotic resistance is a major cause of clinical infections worldwide. This study determined the pattern multidrug bacterial in hospital sewage samples from Marathwada region India. Forty-eight isolates bacteria were obtained 6 locations Aurangabad.  An sensitivity test was carried out using disc diffusion method. Among all antibiotics tested, highest level observed beta lactam class (85%), followed by Tetracycline (58%), Cephalosporin quinolones (52%) and gentamycin (45%). Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumoniae are most prevalent bacteria, showing to tested with MAR index 1. It concluded that water could be reservoir resistant which may further contaminate drinking bodies, potentially presenting public health risk general populace.   Key words: Antibiotics, Enterococcus faecalis, coli, pneumoniae, Pseudomonas species, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes.
