Abstract

The study was investigated the bacteriological contamination in Tigris River raw water and Tap water in Bagdad city from different area as Rashidiya, Kadhimiya, Shawaka and Salhia regions while the Tap water from Al-Hurriya region, the results showed The results were revealed the fecal coliform and members of the The Enterobacteriaceae was most prominent bacteria in the studied area and and gram positive bacteria as well While the results reported the isolated bacteria was less in Tap water also the current study isolated pathogenic bacteria as Aeromona hydrophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , salomenall spp, and some isolated that cause UTI as P.vulgaris and P. mirabilis. However, the results showed the bacteria count was higher in the areas compared in Tap water but the area 2 was recorded the highest count 952+0.432 With significant differences between other area at p ≤ 0.05 while in Tap water was 271+0.46. The study were revealed the fecal coliform and members of the The Enterobacteriaceae was most prominent bacteria in the studied area and and gram-positive bacteria which attributed to the factories and hospitals in the studied area are thrown into the Tigris River.
