Abstract
Isolation of bacteriophages from wastewater for possible utilization to combat multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas spp. isolated from public water pool.
Highlights
A multi drug resistant Pseudomonas spp. was isolated and characterized from public water pools
In order to develop combat strategy to eradicate and prevent this opportunistic pathogen, bacteriophages were isolated from wastewater samples
Though routine monitoring and disinfection are stringently followed for swimming pools, opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa frequently contaminates this water bodies and poses a significant public health threat. (Fiorillo et al, 2001, Tate et al, 2003, Lumb et al, 2004)
Summary
A multi drug resistant Pseudomonas spp. was isolated and characterized from public water pools. Isolated bacteriophage showed large clear plaques indicating presence of lytic phages with higher infectivity and burst size of 36 x 107 PFU/ml. In present study we isolated Pseudomonas spp. from public water pools.
