Isolation and Characterization of Resistant Bacterial Species Isolated From Shallow Well Water Situated Close to Graves as a Public Health Menace in Osogbo, Osun State

Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate the physicochemical and bacteriological qualities of well water situated close to graves. Total heterotrophic bacterial count (THBC), total coliform count (TCC) and fecal coliform count (FC) were done on nutrient agar, MacConkey and Eosine methylene blue agar, respectively, using spread plate method at incubation conditions of 37℃ for 24 hours for THBC and TCC whereas 44.5℃ for 24-48 hours for fecal coliforms. Membrane filtration was used for Vibrio spp. count on TCBS agar w… Show more

“…Among these various treatment approaches, microbial degradation has gained attention due to its potential to remove organic pollutants efficiently (Ajuzie et al, 2017;Enerijiofi et al, 2017;Zabermawi et al, 2022). Microorganisms possess the inherent ability to metabolize organic matter, thus breaking down complex compounds into simpler, less harmful substances (Haripriyan et al, 2022;Ozabor et al, 2022). This environmentally friendly approach offers a promising solution for reducing COD levels in industrial effluents.…”
