Highlights
IntroductionMokuolu et al (2017) reported that municipal water from treatment plants serves as the most secure drinking water source in many urban areas in Nigeria, the quality of pipe-borne water has been compromised due to the unsustainable demographic growth and breaches in the integrity of distribution pipe network (Eniola et al, 2015), which results from poor surveillance and maintenance practices by the government
MATERIALS AND METHODSThe vital resource after the air we breathe in is water
This study determined the relationship between biofilmproducing bacteria and their antibiotic resistance in water distribution systems (WDS) in Ilorin Metropolis, Nigeria through the assessment of the quality of water, the virulence factors possessed and susceptibility to some antibiotics
Summary
Mokuolu et al (2017) reported that municipal water from treatment plants serves as the most secure drinking water source in many urban areas in Nigeria, the quality of pipe-borne water has been compromised due to the unsustainable demographic growth and breaches in the integrity of distribution pipe network (Eniola et al, 2015), which results from poor surveillance and maintenance practices by the government. Samples for this study were obtained along water distribution networks from Fate, Basin, Tanke, Government Residential Area (G.R.A) and the University of Ilorin (Unilorin) communities within Ilorin which have their source from Agba Water Treatment Plant. The sampling points A (Fate), B (Basin), C (Government Reservation Area) and D (Tanke) which are about two kilometers from each other were chosen based on the high population density of at least 20,000 inhabitants, the accessibility and usage of pipe-borne water
