Abstract
Study was conducted to know the presence of
bacteriophage in sewage material which can play a
very important role during therapy against the some
antibiotic resistance organisms. During study waste
water samples were collected from different depths
of the wastewater collection tanks located in
livestock farms of different species (Cattle, pig,
goat and poultry). These samples were subjected
primarily to rapid detection by streak plate method
for the detection of lytic activity followed by
primary isolation of phage against two most common
bacteria of environment, namely, B. subtilis and E.
coli by Double agar layer (DAL) method. Recovery of
phages was maximum from pig feces (67%) followed by
dairy cattle farm waste (63%), buffalo farm waste
(50%), goat farm waste (13%).
