Molecular characterisation of carbapenem resistant escherichia coli isolates from sewage within Mulago national referral hospital, Kampala
(Makerere University, 2021-01)
Escherichia coli, an etiological agent emerging as one of the most frequent cause of fatal bacterial infections affecting both humans and animals. The resistance to carbapenems is mainly associated with enzyme mediated ...
Antimicrobial activity of Moringa Oleifera seed extract against Escherichia Coli, Enterococcus Faecalis isolated from well-water sources in Makindye Division
(Makerere University, 2021-02)
The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity of the ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera seeds against selected microorganisms (Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis) that were isolated from water ...
Evaluation of antimicrobial activity of ginger and garlic extracts against isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella species
(Makerere University, 2021-01)
Microorganisms are very ubiquitous and they surround man whereas some live inside man among which are the normal flora. Different conditions have made them opportunistic pathogens of virulence and there is continuous drug ...
Bacteriophage activity against antibiotic resistant avian pathogenic Escherichia coli from post-mortem cases presented at the veterinary pathology laboratory, Makerere University
(Makerere University, 2019-10)
Escherichia coli are gram-negative non-spore forming bacilli that grow aerobically or
anaerobically and may be variable in size and shape. Antimicrobial resistance is currently a very
big global problem, initially reported ...
Prevalence of antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from poultry birds (chicken) in Kabowa Rubaga division, Kampala district
(Makerere University, 2019-10)
Poultry farming is one of the fastest growing livestock sectors in Uganda with chicken production
being the main type of poultry production. The poultry population of Uganda was projected to be
about 32.6 billion birds ...
E. Coli contamination of consumable ice sold in Nakasero and Kololo Central Kampala City
(Makerere University, 2019-08)
A survey on the microbial safety of consumable ice is a study held to assess the potential presence of hazardous microorganisms in both the ice and the consumables in which it dwells at a given point in time.
Ice water ...
Antibacterial activity of Plectranthus cyaneus leaf extracts on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus
(Makerere University, 2022-12-06)
Drug resistance of pathogenic microorganisms is becoming an increasing problem to
human health. In order to find alternative therapy against these drug resistant pathogens,
there is need to screen natural herbs that ...
Antimicrobial activity of aqueous and ethanolic leaf extracts of Psidium guajava against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus
(Makerere University, 2023-01)
Current strategies to overcome the global problem of antimicrobial resistance include
research in finding new antimicrobials from plants. This study screened for the
phytochemical profile and determined the antibacterial ...
Antibacterial activity of undiluted natural honey against opportunistic pathogens causing wound sepsis in humans
(Makerere University, 2022-11)
The antibacterial activity of honey was tested against Gram positive bacteria
(Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). Agar well
diffusion was the method used. The honey showed antibacterial ...
Phenotypic detection of carbapenem resistance in archived E.coli isolated from swine in Mukono, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2022-11)
Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of a microorganism to resist the growth inhibitory or killing activity of an antimicrobial beyond the normal susceptibility of the specific bacterial species. The emergence of ...
