Abstract Fruits and vegetables have been identified as vehicles for the transmission of pathogenic antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) microorganisms. This is food safety concern, thus requiring continuous surveillance. study aimed to profile AMR bacteria present in selected fruits retailed markets from home gardens (HGs) Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti states, Nigeria. Watermelon, cucumber, tomato, garden egg samples were collected analyzed using standard microbiological procedures. The susceptibility isolates...

Dengue Fever is one of the neglected tropical diseases that results in case approximately 100 million per year with over 5 billion individuals at risk infection and re-infection. It now most prominent vector-borne humans subtropical parts globe four dengue virus strains (DEN-1, 2, 3 4) being reported based on their genomic variants. Transmission to mainly through theinfective female Aedes mosquito bite which can be enhanced due climate tropic subtropics.Thevirulence DENV function its genetic...

Plant extracts were evaluated on poultry bacteria known to be threatening public health. This is develop better bio-therapeutic agents from plant origin.Bacteria isolated water, feed, crop, gizzard and faeces of layer chicken. Isolates interest (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Klebsiella oxytoca) subjected antibiotic susceptibility test. Resistant strains further against different in comparison Meropenem (control) using agar diffusion method.E. coli had the...

Background and Objective: Fermented cereal food is an important in human diet globally especially developing countries.Attempt at fortifying the fermented Ogi with natural substances like ginger becomes imperative.The objective of study was to find out effect on survival rate Gram-negative bacteria nutritional content Ogi. Materials Methods: Typed maize (BR 99 28-SR-Y) sample were collected for study.The produced following traditional process subsequently microbial analysis carried...

Essential nutrient is required for the growth of aquaculture either in wild or artificial environment. Therefore, feed need to contain essential nutrients and free pathogenic microorganism. Samples both imported local fish samples were collected presence microorganisms was examined using bacteriological media. Morphological Biochemical identification isolates carried out. Also, antibiotic susceptibility patterns bacteria isolated out Gram negative positive specific antibiotics (Oxoid) with...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a public health challenge globally, associated with hepatocellular carcinoma and known to be highly endemic in developing countries. Its comorbidity cancer infected patients poses greater their management. This study was therefore designed determine the burden of HBV its correlation among assessing care tertiary facility southwest Nigeria.A total 122 plasma samples from consenting were tested for surface Antigen (HBsAg) using commercial enzyme-linked...

Abstract Background Fascioliasis is a major parasite illness that affects ruminants, both domesticated and free, has an impact on public health animals’ productivity. The genetic diversity of Fasciola species in cattle from Oyo, Oyo State, Nigeria yet not well understood. In this study, the gigantica slaughtered was examined using molecular-based approach targeting mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) gene region. Results One hundred flukes were gathered cattle, their COI...

Increasing antibiotic resistance of veterinary importance is global health significance and concerns, due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria originating from animals; therefore, easily obtainable cheap alternatives use in prophylaxis also as growth promoters are imperative. Antibiotic 73 51 gram-negative, indicator bacterial strains isolated 68 crop gizzard contents layer hens respectively, identified Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella, Shigella Vibrio...

Fascioliasis is one of the most prevalent and economically significant parasitic illnesses domestic animals, particularly cattle, sheep, goats, man. It widespread in countries with heavy cattle production especially places low interest vector-related diseases. Therefore, study was designed to investigate prevalence this disease among slaughtered selected abattoirs Oyo, Oyo State, Nigeria. Two hundred fifty (250) faecal samples were collected from rectum cattle. The analyzed using...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is considered to be the ninth leading cause of death and one major public health problems in world. The prevalence hepatitis Nigeria has been rated 8.3%. Hence, this study investigate a tertiary institution Oyo State. Informed consent were obtained from out-patients attending clinics. design was cross-sectional questionnaires administered their knowledge attitude towards safer practices against spread HBV. seroprevalence participants examined with LabAcon...

Background: Influenza is an acute respiratory disease that has caused pandemic in birds and humans.Therefore, this study was designed to isolate identify influenza A virus strains from live bird handlers life markets (LBM) poultry farms Ibadan metropolis.Methods: total of 43 oropharyneal swabs were collected over a period four months tested for virus. Isolation done by culture MDCK cells ten twelve day old embryonated chicken eggs.Detection RNA the carried out using real time PCR.Statistical...

Consumption of fruits and vegetables which are known to be highly nutritious has been linked foodborne disease outbreaks constitute food safety public concern. This study aimed assess the selected from fruit markets home gardens, within South-West region Nigeria. A total fifty-three (53) samples watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes garden eggs were collected subjected microbiological analysis. Isolated bacteria screened for their pathogenicity spoilage potential using haemolysis amylase production...

Fruits and vegetables possess unique nutritional health-promoting profile which has led to their increased consumption. This study aimed at assessing the mycological quality profiling antifungal resistance of selected fruits vegetables. Samples watermelon, tomato, cucumber garden egg were collected from fruit markets home gardens. They subjected microbiological analysis using standard procedures. Isolates screened for pathogenicity, spoilage potential aflatoxin production. Isolated pathogens...

Introduction: Oxacillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA) associated with beef and frozen chicken is a threat to public health because of the potential ability them being multiple antibiotics resistant.
 Aim: The aim this study therefore isolate, determine susceptibility S. oxacillin subsequently other so as establish their antibiotic profiles.
 Methodology: Beef meat (20) samples were collected from different markets restaurants in Oyo town, state, Nigeria. was isolated these...

Methods: Fungal isolates were isolated fromsoil samples using Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). The plates incubated at 25°C for 72 – 96 h and identification was based on molecular techniques by targeting 18S rRNA. Isolation of bioactive compounds from the extracts carried out GC-MS analysis. extracted secondary metabolites concentrated evaporation solvents room temperature. Concentrated extract constituted dissolving it in DMSO stored 4°C antimicrobial assay. Results: Two hundred fifty six (256)...

Background Treatment of the urinary tract infections (UTIs) is vast becoming worrisome because prominent antibiotic resistance among bacteria involve in infection. Species Ochrobacterum are also infection affecting and profusely to antibiotics. Methods Urine samples were collected from out-patients some hospitals isolated identified based on morphological biochemical characteristics. The most resistant isolate was selected for molecular identification by amplifying 16S rRNA gene. bacterial...
