ABSTRACTHuman papilloma virus [HPV] infections are the most common sexually transmitted infections[STDs] in the world. This study was to document the prevalence. of Human papilloma virus infection in Federal university Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Urine samples were collected from ninety four participants and were screened for HPV [lgM] antibody using the HPV ELISA. Out of 94 samples analysed, 2 [2.1 %] was positive for Human papilloma virus IgM, and higher prevalence ...
ABSTRACTS. aureus is an extraordinarily versatile pathogen, and it can cause a large spectrumof infections, from mild to severe and fatal. It is important in humans and alsoeconomically important when infecting animals, able to cause superficial lesions andsystemic infections. The aim of this study is to detect Can, Ica, Hlg and SdrEvirulent genes of Staphylococcus aureus associated with different types of infectionsamong Sudanese in Khartoum State. The Samples were collected from diffe...
ABSTRACTThis research study is designed to determine the microbial count of Chicken Droppings and Ground Palm kernel shell in which the chicken droppings is used as inoculum on Ground Palm Kernel Shell at Ratio 2: l in which the inoculum size is half of the Ground Palm Kernel Shell. Pollution of the environment due to oil production can be reduced through this study because is aimed at examining the microorganism responsible for the biodegradation that can be achieved ...
ABSTRACTThis study is aimed at evaluating the proP,hylactic activity of Phy/lanthus amarus and Diodia scandens insynergism on the Swiss albino rats. The two plants were obtained from Federal University Oye-Ekiti and itsenvirons, thoroughly washed with distilled water and air dried at room temperature for two weeks. The airdried plant materials were pulverized into powdery form using house-hold electric blender. Ethyl-acetateextracts of the two plants combined was administered orally in...
ABSTRACTThis study was carried out to determine the prevalence of malaria parasite amongpatients with sickle cell trait in Ekiti state. A total of 20 samples were collectedfrom different hospitals and clinics. The samples were collected randomly andsodium metabilsulphite was employed to confirm the sickling trait in the samplesand thereafter the malaria parasite kit was used to test for the prevalence ofmalaria in the samples. Eight [8] persons who tested positive for sickle cell trait...
ABSTRACTThe antibiotic susceptibility pattern of aerobic mesophilic bacteria isolated from kunu samples sold in Ile-lfe, Osun State, Nigeria was studied following standard microbiological methods. Seven ready-to-drink kunu samples were purchased from different hawkers at Ile Ife. The samples were transported immediately in ice bucket to the laboratory for analysis. The aerobic mesophilic bacteria associated with kunu samples were isolated, labeled and identified by phenotypic and biochemical ...
AbstractMedicinal plants have been widely used in folk medicine. They are considered today as an interesting source of new drug due to their bioactive components. The genus, Cymbopogon schenanthus [Poaceae]. is an aromatic plant seems important source of several bioactive compound use in traditional medicine .This was descriptive and cross sectional study conducted during the period from June to October 2018, to determine the antimicrobial activity of Cymbopogon schoenanthus methanolic e...
ABSTRACT The indiscriminate use of antibacterial agents has led to one of the largest recent global health problems which is the emergence of bacterial resistance. The present study was aimed to investigate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of ethanolic extracts of the two medicinal plants; Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Thymus vulgaris L.on Escherichia coli [E.coli]. Antibiotic susceptibility test was applied against E.coli urinary isolates using Chloramphenicol, Gentamycin, A...
Abstract Background: The absence of antibodies specific for the 19 kDa C-terminal domain of merozoite surface protein 1 [MSP119] has been associated with high-density malaria parasitaemia in African populations. The hypothesis that a high prevalence and/or level of anti-MSP119 antibodies that may inhibit erythrocyte invasion would be present in apparently healthy individuals who harbour a sub-microscopic malaria infection was tested in this study. Methods: Plasma samples were collected...
ABSTRACT Sorghum is one of the major cereals malted for the brewing of beer. The conditions of transport and storage of this cereal predispose it to contamination by microbes thus affecting the quality of the end products. The contamination is usually controlled by treating the sorghum with chemicals, which however alter the chemical constituents of the sorghum. Therefore, the need to seek alternative functional methods of control of microbial contaminants becomes imperative. This s...
Abstract The development of antibiotic-resistant pathogens due to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to advocacy for the use of natural products in the treatment of fish diseases. The antimicrobial activity of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of walnut leaves and onion bulbs were evaluated against six pathogenic bacteria [Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphyloccocus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli, Samonella typhi] using the cup plate me...
ABSTRACT Dried, milled cassava and yam peels were inoculated separately with A. nigermidRhizopus sp in solid state. The changes in crude protein [CP], crude fibre [CF], neutral detergent fibre [NDF], acid detergent fibre [ADF] and hemiccllulose were evaluated til 0. 4. X, and 10 days after inoculation. At. the end of the 10th day of fermentation with A. niger the crude protein of cassava peel meal [CPM] increased from 3.5% to 7.0% while that inoculated with Rhizopus sp increased to 5...
ABSTRACTPetroleum polluted sites are disturbed ecosystem with scanty plants. Study was carried out in such sites to assess the area of its rhizobacterial status, particularly comparing that of the rhizospheres and non-rhizospheres in the site. The samples were suspended and serially diluted in physiological saline and inoculated on nutrient media by spread plates method. After incubation and isolation, the isolates were characterized by morphological examination, gram staining, biochemica...
ABSTRACT Ficus plant components have application in traditional medicine because of the myriad uses they have been subjected to. The ease of application is based on the secondary metabolites this plant contains. The challenges faced by modern medicine especially in the complete cure of microbially-associated diseases through abrupt and unpredictable genetic mutations in the presence of conventional drugs informed the investigation of the microbial inhibitory activities of the stem, r...
ABSTRACT Polyamide-6 [also known as nylon-6] is one of the biodegradation-resistant synthetic polymers used in the manufacturing of commodity plastic materials. The environmental effects of the persistence of this material in landfill and on surface water bodies pose global problems that endanger public health. Knowledge of the microbial distribution and pattern of their interaction with these plastics will provide the biological resources and scientific basis for the development of...
