A total of 77 bacterial isolates were obtained. The isolates were classified into 10 different groups. They were identified as coagulase positive and negative Staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Micrococcus, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas and Providencia. Escherichia coli was the frequently isolated bacteria with 18.2 % frequency. Enterobacter, Proteus mirabilis as well as coagulase positive and negative Staphylococci rank second with a percentage frequency of 10.4. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus came next with 7.8 % frequency. Pseudomonas, had a frequency percentage of 6.4 % and the isolates which had the lowest frequency counts were Micrococcus and Providencia. Both species constituted about 5.2 % of the total population. There were 6 unidentified amid the 77 bacterial isolates obtained for characteristics displayed were questionable. 1998-01-01T08:00:00Z text https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/etd_bachelors/1573 Bachelor's Theses English Animo Repository Bacteria--Identification Bacteria Pathogenic De La Salle University School building--Toilet facilities
