Abstract
The aim of our study work is to determine the antibiotic resistance, resistance patterns and MAR indexing of the metal tolerant Enterobacter spp. isolated from the three different sampling sites of the Gomti river water of Lucknow city, India. Of the total 77 Isolates of metal tolerant Enterobacter spp. were found to be resistant to most of the 20 antibiotics tested by the disc diffusion method. All the isolates demonstrated 100% resistance against methicillin, penicillin G and ciprofloxacin in site-1, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, polymyxin B, methicillin, penicillin G and ofloxacin in site-2 and amoxicillin, methicillin and cefpodoxime in site-3 of the river water. Isolates from the sampling sites 1, 2 and 3 showed a diverse multi-drug resistance patterns against 10-18, 14-19 and 8-14 antibiotics at a time respectively. Isolates based MAR indexing profiling of the metal tolerant Enterobacter spp. from all three sites were also found very high ranged 0.08-0.7 indicating the high risk of environmental contamination and safety of the public health. The findings indicated that the aquatic pollution may enhance the survival as well as dissemination of the multi drug resistant Enterobactor spp. specially and other coliforms and pathogenic bacteria generally in the river water for the risk of human and animal health.
