Abstract

Sample taken from pond water (Padila), river ganga water (Sangam, Allahabad) sewage water (Yamuna drainage) supply water from Municipal Corporation (Daraganj) were found that Ganga water (Sangam) has positive (large, small, medium) plaque formation other pond water, sewage water, supply water from municipal Corporation do not have plaque formation. Since we pressure that Ganga water have high presence of S. aureus plaques formation for bacteriophages. help in therapeutic process, drug target discovery, bacteriophages isolated from environment or Ganga water sample to specifically target pathogenic bacteria and eliminate them from foods. Bacteriophages approved or use in food safety application, genetically engineered phages to specifically target bacterial virulence-associated genes, control multidrug resistant S. aureus, implications in biofilm treatment, the progress in the knowledge about phage genomics, immunobiology and experimental therapy in animals and in humans suggest that phages could become the antibacterial drugs of the 21st century.
