“…Table 2 shows that salmonellas were not isolated from the shops in which the third system was used. DISCUSSION Salmonella organisms have been isolated from fresh fish (Floyd & Jones, 1954;Gulasekharan, Velaudapillai & Niles, 1955) obtained from markets and intended for human consumption, but there are no records of similar isolation from fish kept as pets.…”

SUMMARYA total of 100 tropical aquaria from six pet shops were sampled for the presence ofSalmonella, CampylobacterandAeromonasspecies. Eight fish tanks contained unusual serotypes of salmonella. None had been used to house terrapins. One hundred and three isolates ofAeromonasspecies were obtained from 98 tanks. One tank containedPlesiomonas shigelloides.NoCampylobacterspecies were isolated. It is suggested that a tropical aquarium may constitute an infection hazard.

“…in canal water and may cause life threatening diseases if used without proper disinfectant applications. Occurrence of Salmonella in freshwater due to fecal contamination was also reported by Floyd and Jones (1954) and these bacteria were reported to cause infections in the animals found associated with these water bodies. Thus canal water is quite unhygienic and even diving and bathing is quite hazardous.…”

Screening, biochemical characterization and antibiotics resistance/susceptibility of bacteria isolated from native soil and water samples

The present study was conducted to isolate and characterize bacteria from water and soil sample taken from the Lahore Canal at different sites i.e. Mall Road, Mohlanwal and Khera site. Isolated bacterial strains were identified on the basis of morphological and biochemical tests. Identification was confirmed by culturing bacteria on selective media. Antibiotic resistance test was also performed to observe the resistance of bacteria against different antibiotics. Blood agar test was performed for identification of different pathogenic bacteria. The result revealed that water and soil samples of Lahore Canal Lahore from different sites were contaminated with Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp., Vibrio sp., Bacillus spp., Enterococcus sp. and Staphylococcus spp. Due to presence of these pathogens, this water is not suitable for any domestic and irrigation use. Study also revealed that water of the Lahore Canal is harmful for human health as it is contaminated with bacteria that can cause severe disease e.g., Escherichia coli can cause gastroenteritis, Bacillus spp. can cause nausea and vomiting, Enterococcus may infect urinary tract, Salmonella sp. is responsible for Bacteremia, Staphylococcus spp. can cause mild fever and Vibrio sp. can be the reason of cholera. Thus it is rendered unfit for any kind of human use even other than drinking like swimming, bathing, washing etc., until and unless some remedial measures are employed to eradicate pathogenic microorganisms by WASA and LWMS according to standards of WHO. Similarly, it is quite harmful, when and where ever it is used for irrigation without proper treatment.

“…Some were isolated from Egyptian adults during studies on diarrheal disease (Floyd, 1955, unpublished data) and on amebiasis (Jones et al, 1955) in this age group. Other cultures were found in Americans living in Cairo (Floyd, 1955a), in fish from the heavily polluted Nile river (Floyd and Jones, 1954), and in a dog (Floyd, 1955b).…”
