ABSTRACT

Puebla city was established in the margins of various rivers, facilitating the economic and social development, propitiating their use as deposits of waste. The objective was to carry out a diagnosis of the enterobacteria of the Alseseca river. 91 % of the samples was identified as enterobacteria, E. coli was the most frequent (44%). Klebsiella sp, Serratia sp, Enterobacter sp, Providencia sp, Cedacea sp and Citrobacter sp were also identified. The isolations showed a high resistance percentage to Cabermicilyn (87.9%).
