Abstract

The object of this study was to determined microbial and chemical quality of imported and locally
produced bottled drinking water in Baghdad city during 2011 – 2012. Forty commercial marks of bottled
drinking water size o.5 l were sampled to determined total bacterial count (TBC), total coliform count
(TCC), Streptococcus spp. count (Strep. C) and anaerobic bacterial count (ABC), also pH and total dissolved
soluble (TDS) were determined as chemical quality. Results appeared that twenty third of total samples
(57.5%) were not qualify for used as drinking water due to high load of ABC, where as FCC and ABC not
detected in all studied samples, pH and TDS values were differed significantly among commercial bottled
drinking water.
