The present study reports the identification of pesticide resistant isolates i.e., E. coli, Azotobacter sp., Rhizobium sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis, which are capable of utilizing the pesticides Fipronil and Imidacloprid as a sources of carbon. Utilization of these harmful chemical compounds by soil microorganisms is a crucial phenomenon by which these compounds are removed from the environment, thus preventing environmental pollution. Results from the present study showed that the isolates such as P. aeruginosa, E. coli, B. subtilis, Azotobacter sp. and Rhizobium species are able of growing in a medium in presence of added pesticides and may, therefore, be used for bioremediation of pesticide contaminated soil.Keywords

Outbreaks of enteric fever have been reported from different parts of India. Increasing population of India and unhygienic methods of handling food-stuffs, improper eating life style and unsatisfactory purification of water supply led to increased chances of microbial infections. Salmonellosis is caused by Salmonella species which covers wide spectrum of diseases. Salmonella are strict parasites of animals and humans. Infections of Salmonellae include enteric fever, septicaemia, gastroenteritis and food poisoning. Typhoid fever, which was once prevalent all over the world, has been virtually eliminated from the advanced countries, but still is a problem in developing countries leading to epidemics. Considering the unsatisfactory and unsustainable hygienic conditions, especially in rural areas of Akola, the present work has been carried out. Salmonella spp. were isolated from drinking water, milk and food samples from urban and sub-urban areas of Akola during rainy season and their prevalence was studied.Keywords
