3. AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE BACTERIOLOGICAL COMPOSITION OF WATER WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL HALLS OF NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES

 INTRODUCTION: Water has an essential role in life and is inextricably intertwined with it; without water, there would be no life. Because of this, it is essential that water always get the appropriate amount of attention at all times. The provision of clean water for consumption is not a frivolous amenity but rather one of the most fundamental necessities of existence. As a result, the provision of potable water to all people has captured the interest o...

5. ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF UROPATHOGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI IN WATER CLOSET USED BY MALE STUDENTS IN A TERTIARY INSTITUTION IN NIGERIA

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Background of the study: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are primarily caused by the presence and multiplication of microorganisms in the urinary tract (McDaniel and Kaper, 1997). Escherichia coli is the causative pathogen in 70–95% of acute, uncomplicated UTIs in adults, followed by other Enterobacteriaceae, like Proteus mirabilis and Klebsiella spp., and...

6. STUDY OF MICROBIAL LOADS IN WATER AND AIR SAMPLES FROM OGUN STATE DUMPSITE

Background of the study

Each year, diseases linked to pollution and waste cause the deaths of almost 5.2 million people and approximately 4 million children. Any solution mixture, material, or item that is carried for reprocessing, dumping, elimination by incineration, or other ways of disposal is referred to as waste in general. Pollution is becoming a significant issue as a result of urban industry, social advancement, and population growth. The environmental effects of wastes can...

7. ISOLATION AND CHARACTERASATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL PRODUCING BACTERIA ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOIL

Background of study

Antibiotic resistance has recently emerged as a significant and alarming problem in the medical community. It is a result of the overuse or improper prescription of antibiotics, which has affected the empirical treatment of patients. Many pathogenic bacteria have developed resistance to common antibiotics by having the following traits: decreased cell permeability, efflux pump, and hydrolysis of the beta-lactam ring by beta-lactamases. One of the main methods for...

8. CHARACTERISATION OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ISOLATED FROM DOOR HANDLES

INTRODUCTION

Infectious diseases transmitted via hand contact have been a global health challenge. Gram positive and negative bacteria most especially are found to contaminate contact surfaces e.g; door handles, tables, chairs, windows etc. (Grace et al., 2018). Infectious diseases top the list for causes of death worldwide and contribution to morbidity and mortality cannot be readily quantified due to lack of data for most countries and it remains a global concern (Kones et al., 20...

9. IN VIVO TOXICOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF WATER SAMPLES FROM THREE FARM SETTLEMENTS IN Allium cepa AND Drosophila melanogaster

ABSTRACT

Pesticides are widely used all over the world, especially in agricultural sectors to increase food production, in order to meet up with the increasing food demand of the teeming population. However, there are concerns that pesticides might have hazardous long term or short term effects on non- target organism and also persist in the environment as residues, especially in water reservoirs. This experiment was designed to determine the presence of pesticide residue in water s...

10. ACETYLATION OF CORN COB AND MANGO KERNEL KINETICS AND APPLICATION FOR NON -AQUEOUS ADSORPTION PROCESS

1.0INTRODUCTION

Oil is the life blood of any modern industrial society. It fuels the machineries and lubricates the wheels of the world’s production. It is one of the most important energies and raw material sources for synthetic polymers and chemicals worldwide (Hussein et al., 2008; Annunciado et al., 2005).

Whenever oil is explored, transported and stored and its derivatives are used, there is risk of spillage with potential to cause significant environmental impa...

11. BIODEGRATION OF CRUDE OIL BY BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM PRISTINE SOIL

1.1Background to the Study

In recent years, the demand for petroleum as a source of energy and raw material for chemical industries has resulted in a tremendous increase in world production. This increase in production, refining and distribution of crude oil has also brought with it an ever- increasing problem of environmental pollution (Gopinathan et al., 2012; Abioye et al., 2013; Sojinu and Ejeromedoghene, 2019).

Petroleum hydrocarbons can seep into the soil and contami...

12. CD4+CELL COUNT AND LEVELS OF SOME CYTOKINES AND HAEMATOLOGICAL PARAMATERS OF PREGNANT WOMEN ATTENDING NNAMDI SAZIKWE UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITAL

1.1Background of the Study

Pregnancy, also known as gestation, is the time during which one or more offspring develops inside a woman (Shriver, 2015). A multiple pregnancy involves more than one offspring, such as with twins (Wylie, 2005). Pregnancy can occur by sexual intercourse or assisted reproductive technology (Shehan, 2016). Childbirth typically occurs around 40 weeks from the last menstrual period (LMP) (Abman, 2011 and Shriver, 2015). Pregnancy is typically divided into thr...

13. EFFECTS OF VITELLARIA PARADOXA LEAF DIETS ON GROWTH AND NUTRITIONAL CONTENTS OF CIRINA FORDA (LEPIDOPTERA: SATURNIIDAE)

ABSTRACT

The current challenge of food security has called for exploitation of natural product, with potential nutritional and therapeutic characteristic, especially from less tapped agent. Cirina forda belongs to the Order Lepidoptera, family satuniidae, it’s an insect that has been well described with good source of protein, fat, minerals and vitamins. Their non existence in the places of natural occurrence remained a reason of concerned to the populace that enjoys them in t...

14. EVALUATION OF BIOACTIVE METABOLITE CONTENTS, MOSQUITO LARVICIDAL AND ANTI-PLASMODIAL ACTIVITIES OF EXTRACTS OF THE SPIDER Neoscona adianta

ABSTRACT

In spite of the extensive control efforts, over the years, mosquito still transmit serious human diseases, cause millions of deaths every year and the development of resistance to chemical insecticides resulting in rebounding vectorial capacity. This situation is aggravated with the re-emergence of drug resistance of mosquito borne diseases especially malaria. The current study was therefore designed to assess the mosquito larvicidal potency and antiplasmodial efficacy of t...
