The widespread emergence of antibiotic resistance, particularly multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) among bacterial species has become one of the most serious challenges in environmental protection. Environmental bacteria are a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and a potential source of novel resistance genes in environmental organisms. In the current study, we investigated the high prevalence of...

Optimal treatment and prudent use of antimicrobials for pigs is imperative to secure animal health and mostly prevent the development of critical resistance which can be transmitted to humans. An important step in this one-health context is to monitor resistance patterns of important animal pathogens. The aim of the study was to investigate the antibiotic resistance patterns of Escherichia coli strains in the intestinal...

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the 21st century’s major global public health challenge which calls for search for newer sources of antimicrobials. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is gram negative straight rod, non-spore forming bacteria, widely distributed in nature and commonly found in lower gastro intestinal tracts of most warm-blooded animals. The bacteria are associated with dysentery and hemolytic uremic syndrome in...

Poultry management generates high amounts of wastes which may result in disposal and pollution threats. It is an ecological place where there are large and diverse numbers of microorganisms. This was therefore designed to investigate bacteria diversities, their antibiotics resistance and possible implication in transporting it over long distance as manure. Dry poultry waste samples were collected from poultry waste packing...

The increased care toward substituting chemical antimicrobials with natural preparations has led to increased studies. To demonstrate the antimicrobial physiognomies of plant extracts, their consequence on infectious pathogenic microorganisms has to be studied in laboratory. In this study, aqueous, ethanol and n-hexane leaf extracts of Plectranthus lanuginosus were tested for their antibacterial activity against...

Background: Limited data are available on predictors of persistent sputum smear positivity at the end of second months of anti-tuberculosis (TB) treatment in Ethiopia. The present investigation was undertaken to identify predictors of sputum smear conversion at the end of second months of anti-TB among new smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients on treatment in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: Case-control study was...

Asymptomatic bacteriuria among healthy female students is a common occurrence that is frequently ignored and this is attributed to the fact that pre-menopausal, non-pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria experience no adverse effects and usually will clear their bacteriuria spontaneously. However, these women are more likely to experience subsequent symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) than women who do not have...

Today, tuberculosis is still one of the major public health problems in many places in the world especially in Africa and Asia. The aim of the study was to determine the experiences and barriers in tuberculosis directly observed Treatment Short course implementation in Northern and Muchinga provinces of Zambia. The sample was composed of data from 12 districts of Northern and Muchinga provinces. Two tools were utilised in...
Survey of Vibrio cholera contamination in surface waters in southwest of Iran
Article in Press
Vibrio cholera is a Gram negative contagious water borne bacteria which is responsible for cholera outbreak all over the world. The disease spread occurs much more during summers in tropical and endemic regions. Entering dangerous waste to surface waters is a serious environmental health problem in developing countries. The aim of this study is to investigate the surface waters contamination with V. cholera in Boyer-Ahmad...
