The study investigated the physico-chemical and bacteriological qualities of water from wells sited in close proximity to waste management systems in the Ahanta West District. GPS was used to determine the geographical location of wells and waste management system. The physic-chemical and bacteriological parameter of samples of water taken from these wells were determined at the laboratoryand c...

Bacterial count in prepared food or water is a key factor in assessing the quality and safety of food. It also reveals the level of hygiene adopted by food handlers in the course of preparation of such foods. This comparative study evaluated the bacteriological quality of food and water consumed in Nsukka, Enugu state, Nigeria, using three bacteria enumeration methods. Data obtained are assumed...

Milk is very popular drink in India and is used for various purposes like for making tea coffee, making sweets, making dairy products etc. Milk contains up to 87% of water which can be easily adulterated by unscrupulous middlemen and uneducated farm workers. The aim of this study was to diagnose chemical, microbial content of milk during preservation. Major tests considered in the research work...

The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with bulk milk coliform count (CC). Dairy farms (n=10) were visited once weekly on sequential weekdays over a period of 10 wk. During each visit, in-line drip samplers were used to collect 1 milk sample from 2 points of the milk line (between the receiver jar and milk filters, and after the plate cooler). During the same period that...

Bacteriological examinations were carried on four types of water samples which collected from tap water, river Nile ground and bottled at different cities in Dakahlia Damietta Governorates, Egypt during 2017/2018 order to determine the level total count bacterial isolates present our . These groups described as coliform bacteria, fecal streptococci, according counts methods. Generally,the highe...

A diurnal study was undertaken in April 2014 to record the bacterial density and some of the physicochemical factors of the river Ganga near Ichapore, West Bengal, India. The pollution indicating bacteria (total coliform, faecal coliform and faecal streptococci) were found in maximum numbers at 14.00 hrs and minimum at 20.00 hrs. All the bacterial populations were abundant and showed diel rhyth...

Palm wine is generally consumed due to its nutritive composition the human body system particularly when fresh and unfermented state. A total of 20 samples obtained from two different locations in Elele community Rivers state, were analyzed for their microbiological qualities. ten-fold serial dilution method was used. For Total Aerobic Plate Count (TAPC) nutrient agar used, MacConkey coliform c...

Multiplex PCR amplification of lacZ, uidA and plc genes was developed for the simultaneous detection of total coliform bacteria for Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens, in drinking water. Detection by agarose gel electrophoresis yielded a band of 876 bp for the lacZ gene of all coliform bacteria; a band of 147 bp for the uidA gene and a band of 876 bp for the lacZ gene of all strains o...
