The predominance of Multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria among dairy products especially yoghurt is fast becoming a major concern in most communities. Five (5) industrially prepared yoghurts were aseptically collected and transported to the Microbiology Laboratory of Federal University of Technology, Minna. Samples were serially diluted and inoculated on various media through the pour plate method. The bacterial isolates...
Microbiological Profile of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in Pregnant Women in Volta Region, Ghana
Article in Press
Asymptomatic bacteriuria can lead to urinary tract infections in as many as 20% of pregnant women. Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy can also lead to preterm births and low birth weights. The objective of this study was to profile uro-pathogens and describe the population-based prevalence, the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern, and ascertain the risk factors for asymptomatic bacteriuria among pregnant women attending...

Gram negative organisms mostly produce extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) which is an important beta-lactamases enzymes known to confer resistance to an important group of antibiotics referred as beta-lactams. Antibiotics resistance has become a global problem and a threat for optimal patients’ care in healthcare institutions. To phenotypically and genotypically determine the presence and prevalence of ESBL-...

Acacia ataxacanta leaves were screened for possible constituents, and the antimicrobial properties of the leaves were tested against 18 isolates of E. coli O157:H7. The leaves were aseptically collected and crude extracts were prepared by cold maceration in 98% methanol. Phytochemical analysis for bioactive constituents revealed that it contained carbohydrates, cardiac glycosides, steroids, saponins, triterpenes, tannins,...
