Yamuna is one of the most polluted rivers in India, especially around Delhi, because of the large amount of the wastewater discharge. According to the Centre for Science and Environment, approximately 75 to 80 percent of the river’s pollution is the result of raw sewage, industrial runoff and the garbage thrown into the river and it totals over 3 billion litres of waste per day (Mishra, 2010 and Martínez et al., 2009). Today water resources have become the most exploited natural system since…

A comparative study on the physicochemical and bacterial analysis of drinking, borewell and sewage water in the three different places of Sivakasi.

In water samples from all the sites, bacterial count exceeded the recommended permissible level of WHO, and introduction of sewage into the drinking and borewell water was the main reason for the bacterial contamination.

Diversity of Salmonella Strains Isolated from the Aquatic Environment as Determined by Serotyping and Amplification of the Ribosomal DNA Spacer Regions

The RS-HP method based on the PCR amplification of the intergenic spacer region between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes can produce amplicon profiles allowing the discrimination of species at both serotype and intraserotype levels, and represents a powerful tool that could be used for rapid typing of Salmonella isolates.
