Abstract
Mint samples collected different shops and home gardens were assessed for prevalence and enumeration of coliform bacteria. Samples collected from shops harvested copious count in contrast to home grown vegetable. Isolates were identified as E.coli, Shigella, Enterobacter, Klebsiella,and Salmonella. A blend of responses was observed toward vanomycin, rifampicin, and nalidixic acid with 100% resistance against ampicillin. However, these isolates exhibited gamma (γ) hemolysis, which may be allied with their nonpathogenic attributes
