Bacteriological Analysis of Drinking Water by MPN Method in a Tertiary Care Hospital and Adjoining Area Western Up, India

Objectives: Recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) impacts quality of life of the children. RAP also hampers education and physical activity of the children. Current study was aimed to find out the frequency of Helicobacter pylori in children with RAP in our tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Descriptive, cross-sectional study. Setting: Department of Pediatric Medicine, Nishtar Hospital, Multan, Period: From 27-12-2017 to 26-06-2018. Material & Methods: A total of 185 patients suffering from RAP, aged 2-12 years, with a disease duration > 3 months, were enrolled. Age of the children, gender, duration of illness, number of episodes of pain, maternal literacy, family income, residential status, source of drinking water and h.pylori infection were calculated in these children. Post stratification chi-square test was applied to see its effect on H. Pylori infection. Results: Of these 185 study cases, 101 (54.6 %) were male patients while 84 (45.4%) were female. Mean age of our study cases was 7.57 ± 1.93 years. Of A total of 95 (51.4%) children belonged to rural areas and 90 (48.6 %) to urban areas. Helicobacter pylori infection was noted in 103 (55.7%) of our study cases. When helicobacter pylori was stratified with regards to study variables, male gender, age < 8 years, monthly family income <Rs. 35000, source of drinking water as Hand Pump and disease duration < 6 months turned out to be statistically significant (P value < 0.05). Conclusion: Frequency of H.pylori was high in children with RAP. Helicobacter pylori was significantly associated with male gender, younger age, poor socioeconomic status, source of drinking water and disease duration.

Background-The aim of our study is to determine the drinking water quality monitoring and assessment of safe water supply in tertiary care hospital. Water samples which are collected from different sites of Adesh Medical College and Hospital, Shahabad, Haryana were processed. Material and methods- Most Probable Number (MPN) test was done to detect the coliform bacteria in drinking water, samples were collected from different sites of AMCH, bacterial isolate was identied by culture, colony morphology, Gram's staining and biochemical characterization of bacteria. Results- Out of 40 samples of drinking water 7(17.5%) were positive in which coliform bacteria were present, while 33(82.5%) were negative. In which 1(14.2%) of the total water samples were contaminated with mix growth organism, 1(14.2%) harbored Klebsiella sp., while 5(87.5%) among 7 water samples were highly contaminated with E.coli species. Out of 7 positive samples, 4(57.1%) water sample were satisfactory, 1(14.2%) were unsatisfactory sample and 2 (28.5%) were suspicious samples. Conclusion- On the basis of the results obtained, the quality analysis revealed that most of water samples were satisfactory and were not contaminated with coliforms and various pathogenic bacteria. The water cooler samples showing positive results have E.coli while less of Klebsiella species. Therefore, we suggest that all the water sources of drinking water should be properly sanitized, continuously monitored and bacterial load should be estimated on daily basis.
