Investigating the presence of enteric bacteria and their antibiotic resistance in drinking water samples of slum households in port city Chattogram, Bangladesh

Globally, unsafe water supplies due to contamination with fecal coliforms are major issues in urban slums. To determine the presence of microbial risk, water samples were collected from three slums in the port city Chattogram and the most probable number (MPN) method was used to test for the presenc...
