Abstract: | Fifteen samples made up of five brands of sachet packaged water samples labelled as A, B, C, D and E in Minna metropolis were examined for bacteriological and physico-chemical properties. The bacteriological quality of the water samples were examined using tube techniques (MPN). All five brands of packaged sachet water samples contained bacteria. Brand A showed a high average index of 398MPN/100ml, brand B has 49PMN/100ml, brand C has 18.8MPN/100ml and brand D had 7MPN/100ml while brand E had 12MPN/100ml.the isolates were identified as Escherichia coli, streptococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, staphylococcus spp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella spp and Salmonella typhi. The physico-chemical parameters were also determined using standard methods; whose values fell below WHO standards for drinking water except manganese whose values exceed the minimum permitted limit for water quality of the standard organization (SON) Key Words: Bacteriological quality, Multiple tube techniques, Packaged water |
