Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Enterobacteriaceae and Drinking Water Quality Among Households in Bule Hora Town, South Ethiopia

Antimicrobial resistance bacteria and unsafe water are contributing to the growing burden of diseases. Hence, isolation and antimicrobial susceptibility tests for drinking water samples are currently becoming vital to address the human health risks from drinking unsafe water.

This study aimed to assess the antimicrobial resistance profile of Enterobacteriaceae and quality of drinking water among households in Bule Hora Town, South Ethiopia.

There was contamination of drinking water with coliform and antibiotic-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in most surveyed households.
