ABSTRACT
Antibiotic resistance of heterotrophic bacteria isolated from the surface and subsurface water of estuarine
lake Gardno was determined. The levels of resistance of bacteria to various antibiotics differed considerably.
Antibiotic resistance between neustonic and planktonic bacteria and microflora inhabiting different parts of
lake Gardno was nearly identical. Besides gentamycin, no differences in the antibiotic resistance between
pigmented and non-pigmented bacteria were noted. Majorities of bacterial strains were characterised by
resistance to 4-6 antibiotics. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics was dependent on chemical structure.
