Abstract: 

The data obtained by conducting interviews, examinations pus sampling of respondents who have been determined. The sample size of diarrhoea sample was 82 for the isolation of diarrhoea causing bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp., Shigella sp., Vibrio sp. and Yersinia sp. Among 82 diarrheal stool samples, 48 (58.5%) Escherichia coli and 6 (7.3%) Salmonella sp. was isolated. 25- 36 months old children were the highest rate of E. coli infection while Salmonella sp.infection was in37- 48 months old children. The highest E.coli and Salmonella infection occurred in low income group, followed by middle income group and high income group. The influence of the number of children living in the house directly reflected the E. coli and Salmonella infection. The children drunk unprotected water had the highest occurrence of infection than protected water. Those children of families with latrines had a lower prevalence of diarrhoea disease than those children whose families did not. The disposal of the child’s stool throw away in open surroundings was the highest rate of infection. The weekly kitchen cleaning had a chance for more rate of infection. Domestic, pet animals in house and flies in the kitchen contaminated all food items which had the highest E.coli and Salmonella infection among the children.
