a survey of common pathogens in wound in patients at the university of port harcourt teaching hospital (u.p.t.h), port harcourt.during a 30-month period, january 1996 to june 1998, a total of 2458 wound swab samples were collected, cultured and identified. in descending order of frequency, the organisms isolated include: staphylococcus aureus (31.60%), escherichia coli (25.97%), pseudomonas aeruginosa (21.21%), klebsiella species (10.82%), proteus species (8.23%), non-haemolytic streptococci (1.29%), beta-haemolytic streptococcus (0.43%) and candida albicans (0.43%). the variation in frequency of the isolates according t ...200312769308
bacteriology of chronic discharging ears in port harcourt, nigeria.the objective of the study was to isolate and identify aerobic bacteria in chronic discharging ears and determine their antibiotic susceptibilities, which is essential for reasonable empiric treatment.200617191422
incidence of multiple antibiotic resistant gram-negative bacteria isolated from surface and underground water sources in south western region of nigeria.in most rural and urban settlements, particularly in nigeria, wells, spring, streams or rivers and lakes serves as major sources of water supply for drinking and other domestic purposes. unfortunately, many of the available water sources are not potable without some form of treatment which is seldom available in most settings. the use of untreated surface water sources for drinking and for domestic purposes remains a major threat to public health as these could serve as reservoirs the for transf ...200919474486
microbial burden of some herbal antimalarials marketed at elele, rivers state.herbal antimalarials still remain an alternative to our traditional communities who can not afford orthodox antimalarials. this study was aimed at investigating the microbial quality of six herbal antimalarials using standard microbiological methods. of the six preparations analyzed, "schnapps", palm wine and water were the media of preparation; the water base preparations recorded higher microbial load. the mean microbial load was 159.5 × 10(5) cfu/ml and 217.4 × 10(2)cfu/ml in water and alcoho ...200921304626
community acquired pneumonia in port harcourt rivers state of nigeria.community acquired pneumonia (cap) is a major cause of death world wide. knowledge of the likely pathogens and their sensitivity/resistance pattern can help in the choice of antibiotic therapy and improve outcome.200821648126
incidence of staphylococcus aureus, coliforms and antibiotic-resistant strains of escherichia coli in rural water supplies in port harcourt.the bacteriological quality of some rural water supplies in port harcourt was monitored over a 3 month period. the supplies were unsatisfactory as judged by standard plate counts (10(3)/ml) and the presence of presumptive and faecal coliforms and staphylococcus aureus. the recovery of potentially pathogenic bacteria (e.g. pseudomonas aeruginosa) further substantiated the existence of health hazards. the most frequently isolated coliforms were escherichia coli, enterobacter aerogenes and klebsiel ...19873298188
