Abstract: CABUNILAS, MATHILDA C. and HORTALEZA, LLEDA MAE M. Bacterial isolation and identification of refillable water bottles utilized by high school students of Saint Gregory — Indang, Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. October 2018. Adviser: Prof. Sunny Rose Ferrera. The study was conducted from July to September 2018 in Saint Gregory Academy in Indang, Cavite. Bacterial isolation and identification of refillable water bottles utilized by high school students of Saint Gregory — Indang, Cavite. The study aimed to: 1. describe the behavior of respondents, with regards to the usage and cleaning of refillable water bottles; 2. Recognize the presence or absence of microorganism; 3. Isolate organisms in refillable water bottles; 4. Identify the isolated organisms; 5. Determine the frequency of filling and refilling and sharing of water bottle as one of the factors that might also influence the bacterial growth in refillable water bottles. Descriptive, quasi-experimental and correlational research was used in the study. The study was carried out on Grade 10 students of Saint Gregory Academy located in Indang, Cavite. Thirty refillable plastic water bottle samples were randomly picked to participate in the study. Survey questionnaires were given to further investigate and differentiate the variation between the behaviors of students concerning their hygiene practices. Testing for the presence and growth of bacteria in refillable water bottles of high school students revealed that there is a positive growth for every bottle. As a result of the study, it was found out that the several species of bacteria such as Escherichia coli hylococcus spp., other Staphyloccocus spp., Salmonella and Shigella spp., and io spp. were present at the students' refillable bottles upon examination. However, based on the utilization behavior of each student, data shows that there no known effect on whether the growth of bacteria is related to the students' behavior terms of usage per day, refilling of water bottles, emptying out of the contents, g before refilling and the sharing of water bottles. Further improvement on giene practices is still recommended such as avoid sharing of water bottles to anyone, the bottle thoroughly before and after use, and ensure that the water to be use is clean
