Abstract: Pathogenic coliform bacteria present in water bodies remain harmful and became much harmful in case of development of multidrug resistance within them. The antibiotic resistance pattern of pathogenic bacteria was evaluated during present research work. Out of the total isolates (83) of E. coli obtained from the water sample of Gardanibagh Kacchi Talab, 32.53% showed multidrug resistance against all tested antibiotics. 18.52% of K. preumoniae, 34.62% of P. aeruginosa and 66.67% of Salmonella sp. obtained from the water sample of this pond showed multidrug resistance against all tested antibiotics. As well as, out of the total isolates (40) of E. coli obtained from water sample of Adalatganj pond, 60% showed multidrug resistance against all four tested antibiotic drug during present research work. 19.44% of K. peumoniae and 48.15% of P. aeruginosa obtained from water samples of this pond exhibited multidrug resistance. Cent per cent Salmonella sp. obtained from this pond exhibited multidrug resistance. These pathogenic bacteria remain as causative agent for several human diseases such as dysentery, diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid etc. Thus, the result of present research work will remain helpful in direction of the protection of human health of the adjoing areas of these ponds.
