Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a major cause of bacterial infections in the perinatal period, which colonization prevalence among Northern-Nigerian pregnant women scarce. We attempted to determine 1) its prevalence, 2) risk factors for GBS and 3) drugs-susceptibility. Methodology: This cross-sectional study involved 185 between 35 - 37 weeks gestation at tertiary health center Sokoto, Nigeria. Vaginal/rectal swabs were collected, cultured tested drug-susceptibilities. The was...
ABSTRACT Simple animal model systems such as Drosophila , Zebrafish, and C. Elegans have enabled numerous breakthroughs in understanding human health disease. Their conserved biological processes, ever-expanding established procedures for handling, amenability molecular genetic manipulation, addition to the minimal ethical concerns, made these models preferred choices several life science disciplines globally. Owing their cheap maintenance cost, adopting will help bridge research gap between...
