Abstract: Intravenous ascorbic acid (IVAA) is a well-known intervention in medicine, which currently is rarely used in US hospitals. Due to the unusual and extreme clinical demands of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, IVAA has been implemented in Chinese hospitals, and data published by the “Expert Group on Clinical Treatment of New Corona Virus Disease in Shanghai” (direct translation) details the use of IVAA as safe and effective adjunctive care of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. ...

Fermentation has been employed as a traditional means of improving the shelf life and nutritional contents of foods, thus making fermented foods and beverages functional and therapeutic. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) plays a major role in determining the health benefits of fermented milk and related products. This review takes into cognizance numerous investigations reporting certain microbial strains and mixes to contribute safety, quality, stability, health and organoleptic properties to ferme...
Fried cheese locally called Wara gets spoiled when attacked by pathogenic bacteria, as a result of poor hygiene practice by the producer and handlers. Wara samples were bought in Ilesha at Atakumosa market square Osun-state. This research was designed to isolate and enumerate microorganisms using standard microbial methods, proximate composition and the nutritional composition of boiled local and fried cheese (wara). Proximate analysis was carried out to determine nutritional ...
Background: Resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins among Enterobacteriaceae has been reported yet they serve as the last line treatment for severe infections in Uganda and other countries. This resistance often leads to nosocomial infection outbreaks and therapeutic failures from multidrug resistant bacteria. The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae in clinical samples of patients in variou...
Abstract The study aimed at producing amylase from corn stem using Mucor and Fusarium in solid state fermentation. The Fungi used in this study were isolated from the rhizosphere of the corn plant. Solid state technique was adopted for the fermentation process using spore suspension as inoculum. Various fermentation parameters such as incubation days, addition of salt supplement, substrate concentration, mycelia suspension and temperature were optimized during fermentation with these organ...
Quorum sensing of rhizobacteria checked against various chemicals including amino acids, sugar , sugar alcohol , salts .
ABSTRACT Mycotoxins are low-molecular weight secondary metabolites produced by fungi, mostly of the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. They are noncritical to the instantaneous survival of the organism, and mostly affect its long-term survival. Fungal growth is enhanced by the warm, humid atmosphere and organic substrate-rich soil, such as exists in Nigeria, and they massively infect Nigerian plants and livestock. One consequence is reduced agricultural yield, which leads to food short...
ABSTRACT Keywords Monosodium glutamate; histopathology; female infertility; ovaries: sprague- dawley rats Fear has increased in recent years, due to the adverse reactions and toxicity of monosodium glutamate (MSG) which is commonly used as a food additive and there is growing concern that this may play a critical role in both male and female infertil...
Freshly laid and stored domestic fowl eggs of 7, 14 and 21 days old, respectively were microbiologically analysed for organisms on their shells in the chalazae, albumen and yolks. All the egg parts were analysed by plating on Nutrient, McConkey and Sabourand’s Dextrose media respectively.
The aim of this study was to determine the safety profiles of some local non-alcoholic drinks sold within Zaria locality by isolating and characterizing the possible pathogenic bacteria found in them. For this aim, 17 samples of Zobo drink, 19 samples of Kunu zaki drink, and 15 samples of Ginger drink were analysed. Among the 51 total samples, Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from one Ginger drink sample; Serratia marcescens was isolated from two Zobo drink samples and two Ginger drink s...
Aim: This study was carried out to isolate and identify the microbial pathogens of medical importance on the external body surfaces of Periplaneta americana collected from toilet areas, residential/hostel areas and health facilities in Umuahia metropolis, Abia State, south-eastern Nigeria. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in Umuahia ...
