| Summary: | Coliform bacteria are Gram-negative belongs to the genera such as Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Klebsiella and
Escherichia. Coliform bacteria are capable to cause pneumonia, respiratory diseases and urinary tract
infections. As water provides as a potential transmission channel for pathogenic coliform bacteria, the rising
cases of waterborne disease have raised concerns over the years. This research was carried out to isolate,
identify, and characterize coliforms bacteria from water samples of Ranchan river, Sarawak. A total of 15
isolates were cultured, identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and characterized against 8 antibiotics. From the
results, most bacteria (81.82%) present are resistant to Ampicillin (AMP,10). Result of the identification of
bacteria by 16S rRNA sequencing revealed bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Aeromonas. The antibiotic susceptibility test showed 100% of isolates were susceptible to Norfloxacin (NOR,10). |
