Evaluation of Salmonella Species in Water Sources in Two Local Government Areas of Anambra State by Ekelozie Ifeoma Stella in Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease
Microbial quality of water using Salmonella species in water
sources was investigated in two Local Government Areas in Anambra State,
between the months of September and December, 2013. A total of 220
water samples were analyzed using Bacteriological Analytic method and
membrane filtration method. Antimicrobial Susceptibility test by disc
diffusion method and serotyping was done using slide agglutination
methods with polyvalent antiserum. Salmonella species was most prevalent (35.0%) in Reservoir water samples and least prevalent (7.45) in Borehole-water samples examined.
