Aginanthus brunneus is a specie of Africa mistletoe and is hemiparasitic in nature growing on many trees. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of carbohydrates, Alkaloids, Tannins and flavonoids. The ethanolic and aqueous extracts inhibited growth of Klesiella aerogenes, Proteus spp Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Gentamycin and Cloxacillin did not exhibit any activity against ...

The susceptibility of 128 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa against amikacin, kanamycin, gentamycin, minocycline, colistin, chloramphenicol, claforan , piperacillin and carbenicillin were tested. Piperacillin, carbenicillin, amikacin and claforan are effective against at least 54% of strains tested. The susceptibilities of microorganisms to antibiotics were evaluated in different poin...

INTRODUCTION Gram negative organisms are one of the major causes of nosocomial diseases. Development of resistance to antibiotics by these organisms increases their risk in clinical treatment of patients. It also affects morbidity and mortality hence needs to be monitored and controlled. AIM The aim of the present study was to analyse the correlation between consumption of parenteral antibiot...

BACKGROUND Chronic osteomyelitis remains one of the common problems with the use of orthopaedic implants. Staphylococcus epidermidis is notorious for its biofilm formation on indwelling medical devices and is one of the most frequent pathogenic agents in chronic osteomyelitis. Cinnamon oil has been proven to be an effective antimicrobial agent against several bacteria, including S. epidermidis....

Antibiotics are a vital tool in the treatment of wide range bacterial diseases, but their overuse and abuse leading to resistance. Objectives: To check antibacterial activities various antibiotics against E. coli. Methods: Collection samples was done from patients at Fatima Memorial Hospital's pathology department Lahore, Pakistan, for this investigation. Total 170 clinical isolates coli were i...

Fish is a vital food source for people and contributes about 60% of the world's supply protein. It extremely perishable, if not properly preserved, it deteriorates can be detrimental to human health when consumed. The present study was carried out isolate Staphylococcus aureus Shigella spp. from thawed fish. A total 10 fish samples were bought different retailers in markets within Enugu metropo...

The aim of this study was to assess bacterial contaminants isolated from hands undergraduate students Babcock University, Nigeria. A total number 200 (100 males and 100 females) were randomly recruited hand swabs collected inoculated on MacConkey chocolate Agar. biochemical tests conducted identify the isolates antibiotic susceptibility testing carried out using disc diffusion method. Out parti...
