| dc.description.abstract | An investigation on microbiological and physico-chemical properties of untreated and treated water from Ero-dam, Ikun-Ekiti was carried out in 2009. Samples of untreated and treated water collected from the dam and inflow rivers were analysed for total viable bacteria and coliforms using the standard methods. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was by NCCL technique. The pH ranged from 7.35 to 8.10 for both treated and untreated water sample while the temperature ranged from 240C to 280C. The total viable and coliform counts for all the water samples were generally high exceeding the internationally defined limits for drinking water. The isolates organisms were identified to be E. coli, Klebsiella spp Staphylococcus spp, Salmonella spp, Shigella spp, Proteus spp, Bacillus spp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus sp, Serratia marcescens and Falvobacterium spp. Twenty one multiple antibiotic resistance patterns were demonstrated by the isolated bacteria. Recommendations for an improved rural water supply scheme are suggested. | |
