Abstract

Aim of this survey research is to study the contamination of antibiotic resistant Coliform bacteria and Staphylococcus from household and public toilets. The bacteria from 100 toilet samples in 5 communi¬ties located in Hirunruchi Sub-District, Thon Buri District, Bangkok, were collected by swab and also susceptibility testing by the disk diffusion susceptibility method. The obtained results showed the number of 120 and 110 coliform bacteria and 52 and 63 Staphylococcus from the household and public toilets were isolated, respectively. There were statistically significant associations between patterns of antibiotic resistance and toilet types (p<0.001), the percentage of antibiotic resistance isolated from household toilets was less than in the public toilets. The coliform bacteria isolated from household and public toilets showed 4 and 5 patterns while, the Staphylococcus showed 3 and 4 patterns of antibiotic resistance, respectively. This information is especially useful for developing Thai toilets, which affect health and safety of the public as well.
