The load of &lt;i&gt;P. aeruginosa&lt;/i&gt; was found to vary from 6.80×10&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; to 5.08×10&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; ml&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;. In artificial infection to &lt;i&gt;Oreochromis niloticus&lt;/i&gt;, the mortality rates was recorded at 90, 50, 30, 20 and 0% at 1.92 × 10&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt;, 1.92×10&lt;sup&gt;7&lt;/sup&gt;, 1.92×10&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; 1.92×10&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; and 1.92×10&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; CFU fish ml&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;, respectively. The average bacterial load in the swamps (1.92×10&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt;CFU ml&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;) was slightly higher than that prevailed in the control pond (1.90×10&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt;CFU ml&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;). Swamps can be utilized at the present bacterial load for the fish culture. &lt;b&gt;Key words:&lt;/b&gt; Swamp, pathogenicity, &lt;i&gt;Pseudomonas&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Oreochromis niloticus&lt;/i&gt;.
