The wrong and excessive use of antibiotics in the poultry industry poses a threat to public health due to the release of antibiotic-resistant bacteria into the environment and its impact on consumers of poultry products. This research aimed to investigate the occurrence and patterns of antibiotic resistance found in Klebsiella species isolated from poultry faeces in Owo metropolis. Fecal samples were collected from healthy broilers in three privately-owned poultry farms in Owo, using sterile ...
Background and Objectives: Abuse and indiscriminate use of antibiotics, prolong hospital admission, travel history, organ transplants, immunocompromised conditions and age are parts of the factors that contribute to development of antibiotic resistance and intestinal carriage of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) Enterobacteriaceae. These bacteria affect the course and outcome of an infection and continue to pose a challenge to infection management worldwide. This study was carried out ...
Beta-lactamase enzymes e.g. metallo β-lactamases (MBLs) that produces Gram-negative bacteria is no doubt one of the widely spread resistance strategies which was geared by these group of bacteria towards β-lactam drugs. MBLs hydrolyzes bacteria and resist carbapenems. This study aimed at determining the antibiogram and the production of MBLs by Klebsiella species from poultry feaces in Owo metropolis. From Poultry feaces aseptically collected Klebsiella species was isolated using MacConkey ...
One of the most common sources of protein globally is catfish which are artificially reared in Nigeria. Pseudomonas species are opportunistic in nature, pathogenic Gram negative bacteria and may build multidrug resistant which can cause a serious threat to public health when present in environmental samples. This research was meant to determine the antibiogram of Pseudomonas species and its prevalence isolated from catfish ponds in Owo metropolis. The pond’s water samples were aseptically c...
Pseudomonas species are most available pathogenic Gram negative bacteria in environmental samples. They are resistant to several drugs, opportunistic pathogen and their presence in the environment poses threat to the public health. The ability of microorganisms to survive in the presence of antimicrobial agents at a situation that can kill or enhance their growth is known as antimicrobial resistance. This has become a serious threat globally, which makes the treatment of infections in humans ...
Pseudomonas species are common pathogenic Gram negative bacteria frequently found in environmental samples. Pseudomonas species are responsible for different healthcare-associated infections and are inherently resistant to many commonly used antibiotics. This study was aimed at isolating; identifying and determining the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Pseudomonas species isolated from pig feaces in Owo metropolis. Freshly passed feacal samples were aseptically collected from apparentl...
This study was carried out to determine the antibiotic susceptibility profile and the production of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) by Escherichia coli isolated from cow dung in Owo metropolis. The isolation of Escherichia coli was done using MacConkey agar and Eosin Methylene Blue Agar and was conventionally characterized. Antimicrobial susceptibility test of the isolates were by disc diffusion method against ceftazidime (30 μg), cefuroxime (30 μg), gentamicin (10 μg), cefixime (5 μg), ofloxa...
Escherichia coli which synthesize extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) have been implicated in severe human diseases. There is substantial evidence that cattle faeces have a role in developing and spread of multidrug-resistant pathogens, raising public health concerns. The study is aimed at detecting ESBL-producing E. coli associated with cattle faeces within Owo metropolis. Freshly passed faecal samples were taken aseptically from 9 apparently healthy cattle that were about to be sl...
