Abstract:

With rapid industrial development and progress of civilization, the problem of increase in waste generation becomes more complex in urban areas like Aurangabad fastest growing city in Asia in Marathwada, Maharashtra in India. In this study,we explorethe diversityofbacteriainsewagewastewater withthe assessment oftheantibiotic resistance of the isolated bacteria. The water samples: sewage wastewater was collectedfrominaround the Aurangabad City of Maharashtra, India, and was processed for isolation, which was characterized for identificationfollowingphenotypictechniques.A total of 09 bacteria were isolated from the sewage samples studied, among which 3 were gram-negative and 06 were gram-positive. Our present study evidently revealed that thesewageasconfirmedinthecurrentstudy,the growth ofgram-positive rods shape cocci, and evengram-negative rods too in which the diversity of gram-positivebacteria was found greater, as we compared to the gram-negative bacteria.Thesebacteria isolateshave the potential to cause infections andpossess varied antibiotic resistance. Thus,thisisimperativefortheregularvigilanceofsuchwastewaterbacteriatocombatbacterialmultipleantibioticresistance. We can conclude that the useful bacteria might be isolated from the Aurangabad city area which will be helpful for bioconversion of sewage/solid waste management.
