Wastewater is used water of the community. It is an ideal media for microorganisms and carries the resistant gene into the sewage system. large amount of antibiotics are daily used for patient care and control of infection in hospitals. Large concentration of these antibiotics is excreted through faces and urine of patient and reaches liquid wastes

Wastewater from hospitals contains resistant gene and antibiotic residues that inhibit the growth of susceptible microorganism through selection pressure . Resistant bacteria in the environment carry transmissible gene, by acting as a vector or reservoir of resistant gene.

There are also the most dangerous micro-organism contaminants for human health, and wastewaters are one of the most serious pollutants discharging to the environment . The multidrug resistance pattern seen in microbial isolates from hospital wastewater include most of the antibiotics used presently. Hospitals are an essential asset of population and waste production is usual outcome from its service delivery. Hospital wastewater contains harmful pollutant and generated from all activities of the hospital as medical and non medical activities .
