Heavy metals concentrations in muscles of Synodontis courteti and Mormyrus macrophthalmus from lower River Benue, Ibi, Taraba state was examined. The heavy concentration the species under consideration studied with atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Bulk Model 210VGP scientific equipment. Results obtained confirmed occurrence levels following (lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cop...

Sampled was from January June 2020. parameters varied slightly across months but within FEPA/WHO (2003) acceptable limits. Furthermore; compared seasonal variations determinati...

Background . The spread of extensive drug-resistance among gram-negative bacteria calls for the search antimicrobics with new mechanisms actions. aim was to assess susceptibility extensively drug-resistant K. pneumoniae strains cefiderocol and other inhibitor-protected β-lactams, determine genetic antibiotic resistance. Methods This study included 30 collected in 2016–2021 from 4 regions Belarus...
