Isolated bacterial strains were identified on the basis of morphological and biochemical tests. Identification was confirmed by culturing bacteria on selective media. Antibiotic resistance test was also performed to observe the resistance of bacteria against different antibiotics. Blood agar test was performed for identification of different pathogenic bacteria. The result revealed that water and soil samples of Lahore Canal Lahore from different sites were contaminated with Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp., Vibrio sp., Bacillus spp., Enterococcus sp. and Staphylococcus spp. Due to presence of these pathogens, this water is not suitable for any domestic and irrigation use. Study also revealed that water of the Lahore Canal is harmful for human health as it is contaminated with bacteria that can cause severe disease e.g., Escherichia coli can cause gastroenteritis, Bacillus spp. can cause nausea and vomiting, Enterococcus may infect urinary tract, Salmonella sp. is responsible for Bacteremia, Staphylococcus spp. can cause mild fever and Vibrio sp. can be the reason of cholera. Thus it is rendered unfit for any kind of human use even other than drinking like swimming, bathing, washing etc., until and unless some remedial measures are employed to eradicate pathogenic microorganisms by WASA and LWMS according to standards of WHO. Similarly, it is quite harmful, when and where ever it is used for irrigation without proper treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1519-6984.254016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,26]],"date-time":"2022-03-26T15:32:49Z","timestamp":1648308769000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Screening, biochemical characterization and antibiotics resistance\/susceptibility of bacteria isolated from native soil and water samples"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"84","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7736-8562","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Ulfat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GC University,  Pakistan; Lahore College for Women University,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Z.","family":"Abad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GC University,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8740-4515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"N.
