Abstract

The current investigation was done to assess the bacterial load and detect the presence of indicator bacteria that acquire the spread of feacal contamination of water of river Ganga at Serampore, West Bengal, India. Total of 110 bacterial isolates, 25 feacal coliform, 50 Escherichia coli and Enterobacter sp were isolated from river water. The objective of this study also showed the antibiotic resistivity of the different isolates. This result showed the notable presence of indicator coliform bacteria in the water and need for conventional treatment of water.
