الملخص

In this study the microbiological quality of Port Sudan drinking water wasassessed. Water samples were taken from khor Arbaat (main source), desalinationwater plant, reservoirs and household at distributionnetwork, during the periodfrom March to November, 2008. Bacteriological analysis involved total coliforms(TC) count, and estimation of faecal coliforms (FC). Attempts were made toisolation and identify pathogenic bacteria.The most probable number (MPN) and membrane filtration (MF)techniques were used. Bacteriological analyses showed that TC and FC were highin both household distribution network and reservoirs. The counts of the faecalindicators revealed that their densities increased from upper gate to lower gate.Out of 70 Bacterial isolates, 68 were identified according to theirmorphological biochemical characteristics as potentially pathogenic Gramnegative bacteria which indicated.Escherichia coli20 isolates (28.6%), Klebsiellapneumoniae5 isolates (7.1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa8 isolates (11.43%),Pseudomonas alcalengenis10 isolates (14.29%), Shigella spp5 isolates (7.1%)and Proteus vulagris 5 isolates (7.1%) Citrobacter freundii12 isolates (17.1%),and Vibriospp3 isolates (4.3%). Gram-positive bacteria were isolated from 2samples only there isolates were identified as Bacillus spp (2.9%).The results showed that bacterial contamination constitutes a significantproblem in Port Sudan water supply; regular chlorination and monitoring of watersupplies can improve the sanitary quality of water
