Abstract
Antibiotics are emerging environmental contaminants, causing both short-term and long-term alterations of natural microbial communities due to their high biological activities. The antibiotic resistance patterns of isolates from groundwater located within aquaculture farms was carried out. A total of 6 samples were analysed for the presence of bacteria. Isolation was done by pour plate method using selective agar, Eosin-methylene-blue (EMB) agar, Nutrient agar, MacConkey agar and Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate agar. Total coliform count was determined by pour plate method on MacConkey agar plates. Suspected isolates were identified and characterised using conventional biochemical methods. The antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates was carried out using five antibiotics: streptomycin, erythromycin, ampicillin, oxytetracycline and neomycin by disc diffusion method. A total of 50 isolates made up of 6 genera (Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Enterobacter spp., and Bacillus spp.) were isolated from the ground water sample. Mean total viable count was 1.92 x 108 cfu/ml and ranged from 1.16 x 108 to 2.65 x 108 cfu/ml. Mean total coliform count was 8.4 x 107 cfu/ml and ranged from 5.0 x 107 to 12.5 x 107 cfu/ml. Resistance to test antibiotics ranged from 8% to 80%. These results showed the groundwaters as reservoirs of antibiotic resistant bacteria species which may have public health consequences.
