Abstract
Six sites along the Al-Khair river, Baghdad, were allocated for monitoring water pollution. Escherichia coli was used as a pollution indicator. Strains of this bacteria were tested for their resistance to many antibiotics, multiplicity of resistance, and for the transferability of antibiotic resistance determinants. This study demonstrated that the Al-Khair river is heavily contaminated with the antibiotic resistant E. coli which prove a capability of spreading antibiotic resistance.
