Activity of Lantana camara and Aframomum angustifolium Streptococcus extracts on Pneumoniae and Klebsiella Pneumoniae.
(Makerere University, 2021-04-23)The major aim of this study was to examine the invitro antimicrobial activity of Lantana camara and Aframomum angustifolium extracts on Streptococcus pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Streptococcus pneumoniae and ... -
Antibacterial activity of Allium sativum extract on common upper respiratory tract infections
(Makerere University, 2022-01-22)Upper respiratory tract infections such as pharyngitis sinusitis, tonsillitis and pneumonia which contribute to the disease burden in Uganda are managed by use of antibiotics. This has caused increased antibiotic resistance ... -
Antibacterial activity of ethanolic, methanolic and aqueous leaf extracts of Lantana camara from Ibanda, Western Uganda on archived Klebsiella pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae
(Makerere University, 2019-10)Current strategies to overcome the global problem of antimicrobial resistance include research in finding new antimicrobials from plants. Studies have documented that some plants contain bioactive compounds known as ... -
Evaluation of the combined effects of tetradenia riparia and zingiber officinale extracts on staphylococcus aureus and klebsiella pneumoniae
(Makerere University, 2021-04-16)The experiment was carried out to determine the synergistic effect of the combined extracts of Tetradenia riparia and Zingiberber officcinale against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The bacteria used were ... -
In-vitro antibacterial activity of crude ethanolic and aqueous Capsicum frutescens fruit extract.
(Makerere University, 2021-05-03)Early onset and more commonly late onset sepsis, meningitis, wound infections and gastrointestinal tract infections are caused by klebsiella pneumonia leading to high morbidity and mortality rates as well as fiscal burdens. ... -
Prevalance of ESBL and carbapenemase-producing klebsiella pneumoniae from clinical isolates at Makerere University Medical Microbiology Labaratory.
(Makerere University, 2022-10-04)Klebsiella pneumoniae is known normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract of humans. It belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and is associated with pneumonia in immunocompromised hosts. Other disease caused by ... -
Prevalence of CTXM gene in isolates of enterobacteriaceae collected from the Microbiology Laboratory
(Makerere University, 2022)Multi drug resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is a common cause of hospital and community acquired infections. Enterobacteriaceae are gram negative bacteria like E. coli, Klebsiella Pneumoniae are pathogenic organisms causing ... -
Prevalence of the TEM gene among Eschericia coli and Klebseilla pneumoniae isolates from microbiology laboratory
(Makerere University, 2022-12-13)Background: Extended spectrum beta lactamases play a key role in antimicrobial resistance by inhibiting the beta lactams such as the cephalosporins and penicillins preventing the drugs from killing the Enterobacteriaceae. ... -
Prevalence of the TEM gene in Eschericia coli and Klebseilla pneumoniae isolates from clinical microbiology laboratory
(Makerere University, 2022-12-20)Background Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant obstacle to the effective treatment of diseases everywhere. In enterobacteriaceae, the TEM gene is a crucial contributor to resistance. There is a significant vacuum ... -
Relationship between hypermucoviscous property and antimicrobial suspectibility profile of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in the clinical microbiology laboratory, College of Health Sciences, Makerere University.
(Makerere University, 2022-03-22)Introduction: Hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae which was first described in the Asian Pacific Rim in the mid-1980s and 1990 has become an emerging strain and has been considered hypervirulent. This hypermucoviscous variant ...
