Molecular detection of virulence markers to identify diarrhoeagenic isolated from Mula-Mutha river, Pune District, India.

In this study presence of virulence genes in multidrug resistant isolated from Mula-Mutha river, Pune, India was undertaken. The objective was to understand whether the isolates were of diarrhoeagenic or of environmental origin. This was essential since the river flows through urban and rural parts of Pune and its water is used not only for industrial and agricultural purposes but also for domestic usage.
