Aim: This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Moringa, Neem, and Ginger plant extracts on bacteria species isolated from fruit juice samples.
 Place Duration Study: Department Microbiology, Michael Okpara University Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State, Nigeria, between October 2019 November 2019.
 Methods: The sample was prepared cultured Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA), Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB), Salmonella Shigella (SSA), Blood using streak plate techniques. Four (4) were...
Aim: To determine the microbiological quality of zobo drink preserved with scent leaves.
 Methods: The and leaves were prepared evaluated using standard techniques.
 Results: Twenty three (23) bacteria species fourteen (14) fungi identified from samples. This reveals major bacterial to be Enterobacter spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus Micrococcus spp. Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus spp Penicillium fungal counts decreased as days increased day 1 having highest at 1.41x105 (cfu/ml)...
Aim: The present study was carried out to investigate the antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and anti-inflammatory activities of aqueous stem extract Loranthus micranthus (African mistletoe) plant.
 Methods: Disc agar diffusion method used for antimicrobial susceptibility test organisms determine minimum zone inhibition. brine shrimp lethality in determining cytotoxicity, heat-induced membrane indices.
 Results: In this study, activity evaluated using Escherichia Coli., Salmonella typhi,...
Desmoglein-2 (DSG2) has emerged as a potential biomarker for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) complications, particularly cardiac and cardiovascular involvement. The expression of DSG2 in lung tissues been detected at elevated levels, circulating levels correlate with COVID-19 severity. may contribute to myocardial injury, dysfunction vascular endothelial COVID-19. Monitoring could aid risk stratification, early detection prognostication complications. However, further research is...
Aim: To evaluate the nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic potentials of artesunate in humans.
