Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen present on third of the healthy population. The bacterium possesses an extensive arsenal virulence factors. pathogenicity linked with S. high plasticity and its exceptional ability to incorporate foreign genetic material. aim study was perform molecular characterization strains isolated from clinical environment CHU-Z Abomey-Calavi/Sô-Ava. Isolation performed Chapman agar. Toxin production by investigated using radial immunoprecipitation...
Background and Objective: The manufacturing technology of porridges can be used to improve not only the organoleptic nutritional qualities but also shelf life finished products.The aim this study was establish traditional process eight cereal-based fermented consumed in North Benin, West-Africa.Materials Methods: A survey carried out among producers porridge consummation area Northern Benin.A total one hundred eighty female were randomly interviewed nine communes (Kandi, Banikoara, Djougou,...
Aims: Infant mortality linked to infectious diseases remains a major public health concern, especially in the context of antibiotic resistance. This work aimed study potential pathogenicity Escherichia coli strains isolated from stools children suffering diarrhea and healthy 0 15 years old admitted hospitals southern Benin.
 Methodology: The isolation characterization were carried out according standard microbiology methods. Molecular was by searching for eight virulence factors (Stx1,...
Escherichia coli is a commensal bacterium and one of the first bacteria to colonize digestive tract newborns after birth. It characterized by great versatility metabolic flexibility that allows its survival in different niches. The present study aims at analyzing diversity E. strains isolated from intestinal microbiota children aged 0 5 years commune Abomey-Calavi Benin. For this purpose, descriptive analytical cross-sectional was conducted. A total 135 stool samples were collected pediatric...
