Antimicrobial Properties Of Coconut Against Selected Bacterial And Fungal Species

The antibacterial activity of three type of medicate soap on staphylococcus aureus isolated from wound infections was conducted. Fifty individual with would infection within the age range of 9-73 years were sampled. Swabsticks were used to collect specimens from wound infection. each swabstick was streaked separately over plates of nutrient and macconkey agar and later incubated at 370c. out of the fifty (50) individuals sampled 25(50% […]

The bacterial contaminants associated with commercial poultry feeds from three companies in Nigeria (vital, Guinea and Top) were studied using streak plate techniques. The culture media used were Nutrient agar and Mac Cokey agar. The aim/ objective of the study is: To ascertain the microbial safety of commercial poultry feeds produced by companies. To isolate microorgaisms that are contaminants of poultry feeds, to identify the bacteri […]

  The effect of pesticides, chchlorodipheny trichloroethane (DDY) and Benzene hexaxhoride (BHc) on the microflora of the three types of soil (loamy, clay and sandy soil) was conducted. The serial dietitian technique was employed up to 10-3 using nutrient agar, potato dextrose agar and sabourand agar plates. The isolation of both bacterial and fungal organisms were made before treating the soil types with the two pesticides), […]

Antibacterial activity of honey obtained from two different locations in Enugu State (Nsukka & Ugwuaji) Nigeria on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pyogens isolated from wound was studied. Agar well diffusion method was used to determine the antibacterial activity of the honey on the test microorganisms. The result revealed that the two honey samples have heavy antibacterial activities against the test orga […]

Bacteriological examination of orange juice from three (3) commercial companies was carried out. The dilution method was employed using nutrient agar and macconkey agar for bacterial isolates five (5) samples of three different orange juice each were bought for the analysis isolated organism were Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Streptococcus spp. The total bacterial mean count of frutta was 13 cfu, fumma was 12 cfu and chiv […]

Good quality drinking water can be polluted in many several ways of which faecal and soil pollution are the most important with respect to microbial agents. The aim of the study was to assess the contamination status of drinking water stored in water tanks in residence of Varitas University. Questionnaires were administered to residents to obtain information about the poly tanks and the usage of water from the tanks by users. Samples o […]

Helicobacter pylori are a non-spore-forming Gram-negative bacterium. The cellular morphology may be curved, spiral, or fusiform, typically 0.5 to 1.0 μm in width and 2.5 to 5.0 μm long. The aim of this study is to determine and compare the prevalence of H. pylori infection and urinary tract infections among gastritis patients. The subjects used in this project work comprised of patients with gastritis. A total number of twenty-five (25 […]
