Background: Production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is the most common mechanism of resistance to third-generation cephalosporins among Enterobacteriaceae including Klebsiella pneumonia and this presents therapeutic challenges managing infections caused by these strains of bacteria. Aim: To determine the prevalence, antibiotic susceptibility profile and major ESBL encoding genes among Klebsiella pneumoniae

Background: Household rats are known agents of human diseases worldwide. They are vehicles of transmission of bacteria, viral, fungal, and protozoal disease to man. Rats and human guts with similarities are colonized with normal flora that can harbor multidrug-resistant organisms transmissible to man. Aim: This study investigates the microbial load

Mycorrhiza is an association between the roots of vascular plants and fungus, with a protective role for plants rooted in soils with high metal concentrations, such as acidic and contaminated soils. This study evaluated different pH levels with the inoculation of Mycorrhiza (Glomus deserticola) to ascertain the influence of mycorrhiza

Background: Obstetric hemorrhage is one of the four leading causes of maternal death in women during delivery. Thromboembolism, hypertensive disorders, and infection being the other three. Objective: To highlight the efficacy of a simple surgical procedure, during cesarean section in preventing primary postpartum hemorrhage in women who are predisposed to
