Abstract

Rivers Ganga, the largest river system in India, receive millions of litres of sewage, industrial and agricultural wastes, leading to serious water quality and health problems in the towns and villages using these rivers or wetlands as a source of water [1]. The discharge of wastes from municipal sewers is one of the most important water quality issues world-wide. Municipal sewage contains human faeces and water contaminated with these effluents may contain pathogenic organisms and, consequently, cause disease in humans and animals. Because antibiotics are widely used in the aquaculture and food industry, leading to contamination of water resources, thus many of these bacteria are getting genetically changed and becoming resistant to different antibiotics, raising an alarm for human health [2,3].
