Abstract

E. Coli is recognized as part of humans and animals microbiota and also an important opportunisticpathogen, responsible for a variety of diseases. A total of 10 E. coli were isolated from filter water systemat different sites from Baghdad city and investigated for their ability to form biofilm by using 96-wellmicrotiterplate. The result showed strains with high coherent to PVC. The antimicrobial resistant of fourantibiotic against E. Coli were determined in vitro and the highest resistant was to ?-lactam antibiotics.The biofilm in environment, are vital for the existence of many microorganisms, and provided pathogenicmicroorganisms with a ways of persisting outside of the host to represent means for susceptible populationto be repeated infection
