【 摘 要 】

The presence of heavy metal and antibiotic resistance bacteria in the marine sediment may indicate heavy metalpollution and antibiotic abuse present in the environment. In this study, a total of 89 bacteria isolated from sedimentcollected in Teluk Chempedak and Pantai Batu Hitam of Pahang coastal water underwent heavy metal resistance testagainst Chromium, Cadmium, Nickel, Copper and Cobalt. Previously, these isolates were found to exhibit antibioticresistance capabilities to at least 5 antibiotics tested. Heavy metal resistance pattern for isolates from TelukChempedak was in the form of Cr > Ni >Co >Cd = Cu while for isolates from Pantai Batu Hitam showed a pattern of Cr= Ni >Co >Cu >Cd. Further investigation on the identity of selected isolates that exhibited both antibiotic and heavymetals resistance capabilities using 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed isolates with closest similarities toStaphylococcus saprophyticus and Brevundimonas vesicularis..
