Research Paper (Undergraduate, Bachelor of Science in Biology) College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines in the Visayas, Miagao, Iloilo. This study aims to identify and classify potentially pathogenic bacteria from previously collected water & sediment samples from Dungon creek, a tributary of the Iloilo River. Ten unknown bcterial isolates were analyzed and identified through convention al biochemical methods. Generally, five bactrial genera were identified: Staphylococcus spp. (30 percent, n=3), Cellulomonas spp. (20 percent, n=2)), Vibrio spp. (10 perent, n=1) and Acinetobacter spp. (10 percent , n=1). From the water samples, Bacillus spp. 33.33 percent (n=2), Cellulomonas spp. 33.33 percent (n=2), Vibrio spp. 16.67 percent (n=1) and Acinetobacter spp. 16.67 percent (n=1) were biochemically characterized. However, from the sediment samples, there were four bacterial isolates identified which include: Staphylococcus spp., n=3 and Bacillus spp., n=1 Water Dungon Creek. Cuadra, Marie Johanna Adviser.
