In the present study, seven water samples from various drinking water sources situated in rewa city were collected in the months of Sept. 2006 to June 2007. In which the three water samples showed the presence of pathogenic bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, where as single strain of pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated and identified from each of the three water samples thus a total three Pseudomonas aeruginosa, strains were observed for their antimicrobial sensitivity using various antibiotics viz.,Amikacin, Benzylpenicllin, Cefotaxime, Chloramphenicol, Gentamicin, Streptomycin and TetracyclineAntibiogramof these three strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showed that all the strains were found sensitive to chloramphenicol, and Streptomycin, were as equal percentage of strains were observed both sensitive and resistance to Benzylpencillin and Cofotaxine, but 66.6% strains were found also resistance to Getamicin. Thus high incidence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics was seen in drinking water.
