Abstract

The main objective of the work was isolation and identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from sewage treatment plant and study of its resistance to antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from the sewage treatment plant situated at Sarghasan, Dist: Gandhinagar. The optimum pH was found to be 7.0, temperature 37°C and 4% inoculum for the isolated organism. The maximum resistance was shown for amoxycillin (90 μg/ml) and minimum for Streptomycin (<10 μg/ml).
