Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the microbiological quality of borehole water in Mosimi area in Ogun state. Microbiological and physic - chemical analyses of eleven bor eholes in the area were determined and mean standard error was used to compare the results obtained. The study was carried o ut within a period of 3 months. Microbiological and physico - chemical analyses were carried out on water samples from eleven borehole s in Mosimi and environs in Ogun State, Nigeria. Membrane Filtration Method was used for the determination of Total Plate Count, Total Coliform Count and E. coli Count. Microbes identified include Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Citrobacter sp , P seudomonas sp , Micrococcus sp , Bacillus sp , Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella sp. The Total Plate Count ranged from 0 cfu/ml to 102 x 10 2 cfu/ml. The Total Coliform Count ranged from 0 cfu/ml – 15 x 10 2 cfu/ml, while the E. coli count ranged from 0 cfu /ml – 5 x 10 2
