Isolation, Identification and Antimicrobial Susptability of Bacteria from Arpa River, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh

Abstract

The isolation and characterization of bacteria from the Arpa River water (Bilaspur, India) could give a better knowledge of their variety, distribution, and possible influence on antibiotic usage. Several species of bacteria were found and their potentiality against antibiotics was determined as a result of this research. Isolation entails collecting sample water and cultivating the microbial culture in a suitable medium. Bacteria were separated from microbial cultures and subjected to biochemical assays, antibiotic susceptibility tests, and microbial evaluation studies. The goal of the research is to determine the types of microorganisms found in the Arpa River as well as to expand our understanding of the river. The potential of microorganisms is assessed in this study. The antibacterial activity of isolated microorganisms was tested using five drugs. The bacterial colony exhibits a zone of inhibition against various antibiotics, including amoxicillin, ofloxacin, streptomycin, and ciprofloxacin, but not against Cefixime & L.A. The antibacterial activity of five different oils and extracts from plants were determined using the well diffusion method.
