Waltheria indica has been claimed to be used in managing several diseases traditional medicine, although substantial scientific data are not available as regards its safety despite pronounced efficacy management of some ailments. Therefore, methanol leaf extract W. was evaluated for effects on toxicological parameters using experimental animals. However, acute and sub-acute toxicity were carried out animals described by standard methods. Absence death reported after 24 hours single oral...

The emergence of antibiotic resistance in food producing animals is major public health significance arising from the risk these bacteria entering chain.

April 2017, 45 46 obtained urine, clinical wounds, nasal chicken fecal samples. Isolates recovered identified as previously described. Species identification was achieved by matrix-assisted...

The emergence of antibiotic resistance in livestock, especially food-producing animals, is major public health importance as a result the possibility these bacteria entering food chain. In this study, genetic characteristics antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. isolates from humans poultry Edo state, Nigeria, were investigated. April 2017, 45 46 E. obtained urine, clinical wounds, nasal chicken faecal samples. Isolates recovered identified previously described. Species...

Objectives: This is centered to investigate multidrug resistance among Enterobacter strains seen in bovine animals Okada Edo state, Nigeria and the need for it be regularly monitored especially developing countries as could transferred humans which result serious health implications. The emergence of resistant microorganisms has complicated treatment decisions may lead failures. Isolation identification aerogenes were made from fifty feacal samples healthy animal sources between March-July...

spp. poses a significant threat to human and animal health due their capacity cause wide range of infections in both. In this study, resistance genes conferring antibiotic

The comparative study of the antibacterial activity eight selected medicated soaps was evaluated for their against bacteria significance in wound infections and normal skin flora. This carried out to compare effect also validate reported usefulness soaps. Antibacterial test using agar plate diffusion method. Clinical isolates used include Proteus mirabilis, Providencia stuartii Pseudomonas aeruginosa while from flora Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter kobei, xiangfangensis, hauseri. All...

Background/Objectives: Musa paradisiaca (Plantain) is used as a traditional therapeutic medicinal plant employed in various diseases. This study was carried out to evaluate the nutraceutical potentials of ripe and unripe peels paradisiaca. The phytochemical screening well antimicrobial activity extracts (methanol ethanol) also evaluated. Methods: Proximate mineral analyses samples were performed per standard methods Association Official Analytical Chemists. Preliminary methanol ethanol...

This study aimed at the microbiological analysis of retail frozen and smoked fish in Okada Edo state Nigeria.Four different samples were collected from point sale market.Two fresh iced respectively used for study.After sub culturing prepared into appropriate media, 38 bacterial isolates obtained primary culture plates characterized using standard methods.Antimicrobial susceptibility tests performed on Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.All Gram positive cocci bacteria had a probable identity...

Enteric fever is a systemic disease classified into typhoid and paratyphoid fever. Fluoroquinolones third generation cephalosporins are usually the drugs of choice in management Salmonella infections. Previous reports have indicated common occurrence multi-drug resistance (MDR) including to β-lactams fluoroquinolones. However, there paucity information on genetic determinants β-lactam fluoroquinolones from S. enterica Southeast Nigeria. serovars were identified screened (25 each...

The use of traditional medicines has been observed to increase globally. search for new antimicrobial agents increased as a result in microbial infections well resistance. phytochemical and antibacterial activities ethanolic methanolic extract leaves stem Eucalyptus torelliana was investigated detect the presence secondary metabolites also evaluate their potential. constituents powdered were determined using standard methods. susceptibility bacteria from different sources agar diffusion...
