Prithviraj Sadar*, Bhagyashri Thombe, Nikhilesh Kulkarni and Rachana Pachori

ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out to enumerate total viable count of bacteria, Salmonella, Shigella and fecal coliforms from Wheat grass, Amla, Pudina, Ginger, Tulsi and Beet juices sold at sport complex in Washim. As well as the antibiotic sensitivity and resistance pattern of isolated pathogens were also analyzed against common antibiotics. The present research work carried out by employing standard techniques viz .SPC, MPN and Kirby Bour. Results revealed that the maximum number of bacteria recorded in Wheat grass followed by Beet, Pudina, Tulsi, Ginger and Amla juice. The highest salmonella count observed in wheat grass followed by pudina,Beet,Tulsi,Ginger and Amla. In case of Shigella the maximum count recorded in Pudina followed by Beet, Wheat grass, Tulsi, Ginger and Amla. However, all juice samples were found contaminated with fecal coliform. The MPN index recorded maximum in Wheat grass followed by Beet, Tulsi, Ginger, Pudina and Amla juice. The result on antibiotic sensitivity and resistance pattern indicates that Salmonella, Shigella and Fecal coliform (E.coli) were found sensitive against 2,3 and 3 tested antibiotic. Whereas, resistance recorded against 4,3 and 3antibiotisc respectively. The result showed the poor hygienic quality of juice sold at sport complex and create possible risk to the consumers.
