The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Urinary Tract
Infection among children attending Babban Mutum Science Primary School Shekal,
Bauchi State, Nigeria. The study was carried out between May to July 2014. Among
apparently healthy pupils, a questionnaire was administered to determine the
risk factors from different age groups, sex, and bed wetting history. One
hundred (100) clean-catch urine samples were obtained from the pupils using
standard procedures. Microbial culture on Cy...

This paper considers the use of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a biosorbent for the recovery of gold
from Mahd El-Dahhab gold mine in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Gold is a noble metal
which was seldom used in electroplating, hydrogenation catalyst, etc.
Heterogeneous composition of samples and low concentration offer renewed
interest in the selective extraction of gold using various extractants. In the
present work, Saccharomyces cerevisiae,
is used to study the preconcentratio...

Four food samples namely fried chicken, fried
rice, meat pie and cake from four different fast food restaurants in Lokoja were
purchased and assessed microbiologically. Ten bacterial species were identified as Streptococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Staphylococcus sp., Flavobacterium sp., Proteus sp., Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Salmonella sp. and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa. Four fungal species namely Penicillium sp., Rhizo...

The influence of basic physical factors caused by magnetite nanoparticles
(constant magnetic field and sorption) on microorganisms by examining the reactions
of the intensity of free radical lipid peroxidation (FRLP) and bacteriostatic action
was studied. It was well established that the magnetite nanoparticles caused unequal
reaction in intensity of FRLP on different groups of microorganisms. It was determined
that the most significant factor that influenced on the ultimate indicator of the
int...

Studies have shown that
soil-transmitted helminth infections are widely distributed throughout the tropics
and subtropics. Poor sanitation is a major factor in the spread of intestinal helminth
parasites. Hence, a study was carried out from July to September 2014, to determine
the prevalence of intestinal helminth parasites among undergraduate students at
North Gate, FUTA. A total of two hundred (200) stool samples were collected randomly
from both males and females. Faecal samples were analyzed...

Since DENV-1, 2, 3, and 4 determine the strains for dengue virus, their
gene sequence can be used as marker for diagnosis, amplifying and genotyping
subtypes in molecular screening reaction which
includes RT-PCR, real-time RT-PCR, nucleic acid sequence-based amplification,
microsphere- based duplexed immunoassay, and DNA microarrays. There are
many gene based PCR diagnostic kits available for screening and quantifying
dengue virus, which one to choose? Decisions on choosing the diagnostic kit ar...

This research work provides comprehensive meaningful
valuable findings from NCBI database for researches to analyze entries of H1N1 strains
aiming to design genomic region-specific markers and also for screening the region-specific
subtypes. Influenza
A viruses are divided into subtypes, based on the nature of their surface glycoproteins,
HA and NA. There are 16 different HAs and nine NAs which are distinguishable
serologically, and we have sincerely dug NCBI database. We have found 7651
entries...

Haemagglutination
studies on lectin from both wild (SCW) and mutant strains (SCM1, SCM2, SCM3) of Schizophyllum commune using human
blood were explored in this study after six days of submerged fermentation.
Haemagglutination assay showed that the lectin from all the strains showed
slight discrimination in their haemmaglutinating activity against human blood
group with st...

This study was performed to evaluate the antibiotic
sensitivity pattern and determination of MIC (Minimum inhibitory concentration)
and MBC (Minimum bactericidal concentration) value of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The samples were collected from
hospitalized and outdoor patients of Chittagong Maa-O-Shisu General hospital (October,
2010 to April, 2011). From the sample (blood, pus and urine) the isolate was
identified on the basis of their morphological, cultur ...
