- In this data article, hospital sewage water microbial diversity and antimicrobial profile of microorganisms in the system are referred. In total, six dominant representative strains were isolated. Of which, five strains: Klebsiella spp, Staphylococcus spp, Enterobacter spp, Pseudomonas spp and Escherichia coli were identified (Table 1). Among the three sampling sites, pond system B was known to have high diversity compared to the other sites. The order is still maintained the same for evenness (Equitability indexing (ED), where site B is 1.00 followed by site A (0.93) and site C (0.71). Overall, site B found to have high diversity and evenness, which can be described as a stable environment for its high number of species and high number of individuals (Figure 1 and Table 2). It is documented that antibiotics may favour the microbial adaptation by reducing their toxicity (Jia et al., 2008). The antibiotic profile of the isolated strains against the ten different antibiotics have shown resistance to ampicillin, amoxycillin and vancomycin while some were still 100% susceptible to ciprofloxacin and norflocin. Development of antibiotic resistance and selection pressure has also been reported (Chee-Sanford et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2014). Chloramphenicol and erythromycin however shown fractions among R and S; 67% and 33% as well as 17% and 83%, respectively. Neomycin shown fractions for I (67%) and S (33%) while, kanamycin and streptomycin had percentage fractions for all class (Table 3, 4 and 5).
