Molecular Characterization Of Methicillin Resistance Gene Among Staphylococcus Aureus Isolated From Poultry Farms In Kaduna, Nigeria
Zoonotic transfer of resistance genes has been reported as one of the major causes of increased community associated methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aureus (CAMRSA), which has contributed to high hospital visit, mortality and morbidity in clinic. This study evaluates the occurrence of S. aureus encoding mecA gene in poultry birds from Kaduna metropolis.... Continue here

Antibiotic Susceptibility Patterns Of Uropathogenic Escherichia Coli Among Patients With Urinary Tract Infections In A Tertiary Care Hospital In Maiduguri, North Eastern, Nigeria
Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been identified as the most common uropathogenic bacterial pathogen with increasing resistance to antibiotics. Aetiology of urinary tract infections (UTI) and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns vary from time to time and across different areas. In Nigeria, studies on the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of... Continue here

Quantitative Assessment Of Phytochemicals And Nutritional Potential Of Leaves And Seeds Of Cleome Viscosa From Abakaliki, Nigeria
The phytochemicals and nutritional potential of the leaves and seeds of Cleome viscosa were assessed by determining phytochemical, proximate, vitamin and mineral compositions. Results indicate alkaloid contents of the leaves and seed as 0.21 and 6.12 mg/100g respectively. Other findings are flavonoids 0.02 and 0.45, tannins 0.08 and 1.18, phenol 0.50 and 0.04,...
