The evaluation of antibiotic resistant genes in bacteria isolates of drinking water of Bhopal District of Madhya Pradesh
Keywords:
GyrA, Tet A, Antibiotic resistance, Drinking water, PCRAbstract
Antibiotic resistance is becoming a major problem all over the world. The spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARBs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment is a major health related problem. The aquatic ecosystem is an important source for ARBs and ARGs. The antibiotic resistance in bacteria is the emerging issue in the drinking water industry, Therefore, this study was done to study the presence of ARB and ARG in drinking water of Bhopal district of Madhya Pradesh. The 200 drinking water samples were collected from the point of domestic use (POU) into an autoclaved vial. The samples were applied on nutrient agar medium which is used for cultivating microorganisms. Each randomly appearing bacterial colony was taken into LB broth and further incubated. Extracted DNA were used for the PCR amplification for the detection of Gyr A and Tet A.
