BACKGROUND Enterococci are normal commensals of human gut, but vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are a severe threat to human health. Antimicrobial-resistant enterococci have been reported previously from Indian surface waters. However, the presence of antimicrobial resistance and virulence markers in Enterococcus faecalis, the most dominant enterococci is yet to be investigated. OBJECTI...

UNLABELLED The distribution of resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, sulfonamides, tetracycline, and streptomycin among coliform in the Gomti river water samples was investigated. The coliform populations were isolated on Mac Conky and eosin methylene blue (EMB) agar plates supplemented with antibiotics. The incidence of resistance among the coliform population varied considerably in diffe...

The present study aimed to investigate the morphometric characters of fish species, Labeo rohita, Rita rita, Wallago attu and Mystus aor sampled from two aquatic habitats, Gomti River nearby Lucknow Ganga at Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, India. Both rivers are extremely cherished as they full natural resources highly rich in faunal floral diversity. A total 100 specimens each species were collected ...

Abstract We characterize here the saline‐alkaline soils composed of Na 2 CO 3 and NaHCO in Ganga floodplain peninsular basin using various chemical proxies isotopic composition Sr. Abundance their higher solubility make them an important source non‐chloride other dissolved ions including Sr to river waters. Inverse model based apportionment indicates ∼26%–71% at outflow is influenced by soils; ...
