Abstract:
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase
(ESBL) - producing Klebsiella pneumoniae have spread
rapidly worldwide posing a serious threat in healthcare
facilities. The epidemiology of K. pneumoniae producing
ESBL is complex and varies among hospitals and countries.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the biotype and
molecular characterization of ESBL producing K pneumonia
and their clonal relatedness by PFGE in Cairo, Egypt. Methods:
Over 12-months, bacterial isolates were collected from clinical
specimens of inpatients
and outpatients of seven hospitals
in Cairo, Egypt. K pneumonia isolates were identified and
biotyped using API 20E.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing to 16 β-lactam and non-β-lactam
agents was determined by disk diffusion test. K. pneumoniae
isolates were confirmed phenotypically as ESBL producers by
combined disc test. Selected K. pneumoniae isolates were
further subjected to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) tests to determine the
ESBL genes (TEM and SHV) and their clonal relatedness. Results:
A total of 50 out of 66 (67%) K. pneumoniae isolates were
positive for ESBLs. blaTEM and blaSHV
were detected in 70% and 80% of ESBLs positive K
pneumoniae isolates respectively.
All ESBLs producing K pneumoniae isolates were
100% susceptible to imipenem and
35 (53%) of them were
resistant for equal or more than eight antibiotics of different
groups. PFGE results
showed diverse and unrelated clones.
Conclusions: This
study showed high prevalence of ESBL producing K. pneumonia
(67%). BlaSHV was found as a
predominant gene responsible for ESBLs production.
Imipenem is still the most reliable and effective antimicrobial
treatment option.
ESBL producing K. pneumonia
spread through the dissemination of a plasmid rather than
the occurrence of a clonal outbreak in this study.

Abstract:
The subject of United Sates of
America and its unions in invading to Iraqi regions cause
chancing the landscape in management of world problems and cause
to fake the international laws regulations. Evaluation of
invading to Iraq has been analyzing by researchers already and
there is a point of hopping now which everybody believes that
invading to Iraq was without the permission of security council
and it is a criminal point of war and the American state breaks
the international law and its regulations and some the officials
of this country abuse the law of legitimate defeat for these
reasons so in this position that united states was put in
obedient position and the united states of America as the most
powerful country tries to use these regulations as tools for its
leadership of the world although it knows in international law
there is a significant difference between the countries.
Depending on power is beneficial for powerful states and in this
course the weak countries are failure.

Abstract:
Incidence of multiple antibiotic resistance has been observed
among Salmonella species. The main objective of this
study was to determine the multiple antibiotic resistance
pattern in Salmonella isolated from poultry droppings and
cow dung. Samples of poultry droppings and cow dung were
randomly collected from poultry houses and abattoirs in Ado-Ekiti.
Isolation was done using Salmonella-Shigella agar, after which
the isolates were subjected to some biochemical tests.
The isolates were also subjected to confirmatory test using
Salmonella test kit. The confirmed Salmonella
isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility tests using
antibiotic discs such as Pefloxacin (5µg), Ofloxacin (5µg),
Ciprofloxacin (10µg), Norfloxacin (10µg), Amoxicillin (10µg),
Nalidixic acid (30µg) and Nitrofurantoin (300µg) and their
multiple antibiotics resistance (MAR) pattern were observed.
Statistical analysis using student t-test was done to compare
the mean resistance of Salmonella sp. isolated from
different environment to the different antibiotics used.
Eighty-seven isolates were recovered from the samples, forty six
from cow dung and forty one from poultry droppings. When the
isolates were subjected to confirmatory test using Salmonella
test kit, sixty eight were found to be positive by showing
agglutination within two minutes. The percentage resistance
observed among Salmonella species isolated from
cow dung and poultry droppings were amoxicillin (73.5%),
nitrofurantoin (63.2%), nalidixic acid (60.3%), pefloxacin
(52.9%), norfloxacin (36.8), ciprofloxacin (35.3%) and ofloxacin
(20.9%). The highest resistance among the isolates was observed
to amoxicillin and the least was to ofloxacin. The MAR patterns
observed among the isolates include: PEF/OFX/AMX/CIP/NAL/NOR/NIT,
PEF/AMX/NAL/NOR/NIT, PEF/AMX/NOR/NIT and CIP/NAL/NOR.
Statistical analysis revealed that there was no significant
difference in the resistance of Salmonella sp. from
different sources to the different antibiotics used. It
can be deduced from this study that those isolates showing
multiple antibiotic resistance pose a threat to human population
because if they find their way into the human population they
can cause resistance to antibiotics in patients suffering from
Salmonella infection.

The
Antibiotic
Resistant Patterns
Of Bacterial Flora
Of
Cultured Catfish Fed With
Poultry Hatchery Waste From Selected Farms In Ibadan, Nigeria

Abstract:
Microbial quality of poultry hatchery wastes from three selected
commercial poultry hatchery units and catfish (Clarias
gariepinus) fed hatchery waste obtained from five
purposively selected aquaculture farms
in three local
government areas in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria
were studied using standard
microbiological methods.
The antibiotic
sensitivity test of the isolated organisms was also carried out
to determine their sensitivity to seven different antibiotics
commonly used by livestock farmers. The antibiotics were
Nitrofuratoin (F), Augmentin
(AMC), Ciprofloxacin (CIP), Nalidixic acid (NA), Erythromycine
(E), Chloramphenicol (C) and Gentamicine (CN).
The results of the samples examined were compared using
both descriptive and inferential statistics. One-way analysis of
variance was used to compare means among the three different
hatcheries and organs. The level of significance was set as p <
0.05. The total bacterial
count obtained ranged from 1.2 x105 to 4.6 x 105
cfu/g and 1.2 x105 to 5.6 x105 cfu/g for
the hatchery waste and catfish respectively. The Total
enterobacterial count ranged from 6.0x10 4 to 3.0x 105
cfu/g and 4.0x104 to 3.0x105 cfu/g for hatchery waste
and catfish respectively.
The Bacteria isolated
from hatchery waste were Staphylococcus epidermidis,
Esherichia coli, Bacillus spp, Klebsiella pneumonia and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while those isolated from
different organs (skin, stomach and intestines) of the catfish
were Salmonella
subspp1, Leclercia adecarboxylata, Bacillus spp, Klebsiella
pneumonia, Eschericia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus,
Citrobacter spp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Salmonella arizonae
subspp3A. There were
frequent occurrence of Escherichia, Staphylococcus,
Pseudomonas, Salmonella, & Klebsiella in the samples
(hatchery waste and catfish organs) analysed.
E coli were sensitive to all the antibiotics except
Erythromycine. Salmonella arizonae subsp.3 was also
sensitive to all the antibiotics except Nalixidic acid,
Erythromycine, and Augmentin. Erythromycine was not active
against any of the isolated organisms while Bacillus spp
was not sensitive to any of the antibiotics. Gentamycin showed
highest level activity against all the isolates while
Erythromycin showed no activity against any of the isolates.
This level of resistance to antimicrobial agents is a reflection
of misuse or abuse of these agents in the environment.

Abstract:
The study evaluated the attitude
of livestock farmers’ in Imo State towards agricultural credit.
Primary data were collected through the use of a structured
response type of questionnaire from 90 livestock farmers’
randomly selected (10 farmers’ each from the nine L.G. As that
make up the study area). The primary data were complemented with
secondary data from published and unpublished literature
sources. The Likert scale was used to measure the disposition of
farmers’ towards agricultural credit. The study revealed that
livestock farmers’ in the study area have a good attitude
towards agricultural credit. The livestock farmers’ agreed that
agricultural credit will help them in increasing their farm
output and income and help in the adoption of agricultural
innovation and transforming the livestock business. Also,
majority of the livestock farmers’ (44.4%) are involved in
poultry enterprise. This is closely followed by goat
enterprise(42.2%).The study also revealed that few livestock
farmers’ (4.4% and 9.0%) are involved in piggery and sheep
enterprises respectively. It is therefore recommended that all
agencies (private and public; local and international) involved
in credit delivery should extend credit facilities to livestock
farmers’ in Imo State.

Abstract:
Studies on the entero-pathogens associated with the intestines
of Giant Africa land snail (Achatina and Archachatina
species) was carried out. A total of 180 snail samples of three
different species of Giant Africa Land Snail (GALS) (Achatina
achatina (Giant Ghana tiger snail), Achatina fulica
(East Africa land snail or garden snail) and Archachatina
marginata (West Africa snail or big Black snail)) were
obtained from Gwagwalada market, FCT Abuja were used. The
snails were deshelled, homogenized in 10ml of distilled water
and cultured on Nutrient agar, Mac Conkey agar, Salmonella-Shigella
agar, and Eosine methylene blue (EMB) agar using spread plate
method and incubated for 24 hours at 370C. The growth
obtained on Mac Conkey agar was sub cultured on EMB to confirm
Escherichia coli and biochemical tests on the isolates
were carried out. Forty-five bacteria were isolated. They
include Salmonella species and Shigella species
both gave 3(6.6%) each. Aeromonas spp, Vibrio spp
and Pseudomonas species gave 2(4.4%) each.
Enterobacter and Klebsiella species are both 3(6.6%),
Staphylococcus aureus gave 4(8.8%), Proteus spp
7(15.5%), Escherichia coli 8(17.7%) and Yersinia
species 1(2.2%). Some of the bacterial isolates show resistance
to most antibiotics tested and as such displayed multidrug
resistance. Most of the bacteria isolated in this study have
been shown to be involved in gastro-intestinal infections
therefore, there is need for proper processing of snails before
consumption.

Abstract:
Powdered leaves of Senna alata were extracted with
ethanol and water. The extracts were subjected to phytochemical
screening using standard procedures. The extracts were tested
for antibacterial activity against four (4) clinical bacterial
isolates, which include Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli and Streptococcus
pyogenes, using agar well diffusion method. The results of
phytochemical screening indicated the presence of alkaloids,
saponins, anthraquinone, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and glycosides in the two extracts. Results of the antibacterial
activities revealed that ethanol fraction was active on
Pseudomonas aeruginosa at the highest concentration of 500
mg/ml with zone diameter of inhibition of 9 mm, while the
aqueous extract was active at the highest concentration of
500mg/ml against Escherichia coli and Streptococcus
pygogenes with zone diameter of inhibition of 11 mm and 10
mm respectively. The results provided evidence that leaf of
Senna alata has the potential that can be harnessed to
produce drugs that can be used to treat ailments caused by
these pathogens.

Abstract:
Intestinal parasitic infections have always been an important
public health problem in the tropics, particularly in developing
countries. In this study intestinal parasites were investigated
in 120 diarrheal stool samples collected from children aged
under 5years in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. Samples were
collected from Sacred Heart Hospital, Lantoro, Abeokuta, Ogun
State, Nigeria. The intestinal parasites were detected using
saline and iodine wet mount preparations.
Of the 120 stool samples examined, 31(25.8%) had intestinal
parasites. It showed that the prevalence of intestinal parasites
was higher in females (26.6%) than males (25.0%). However, this
difference is statistically significant (P>0.05). It showed that
the prevalence of intestinal parasites was higher among children
ages 4 to 5 years old (38.2%) than their counterparts in age
group <1 to 3 years (15.4%). There was significant difference
(P<0.05) between enteric parasitosis and age. A total of three
parasite species were observed (two protozoa and one helminth)
from the diarrhea stool samples. The frequency of occurrence of
intestinal parasites from the diarrheal stools showed Ascaris
lumbricoides was the most predominant (54.8%). This was
followed by Entamoeba coli
(25.8%) while Entamoeba histolytica was least
predominant (19.4%). Mixed infection was not observed.
This study indicates that parasites
are important cause of diarrhea, especially among children.
Though usually not life threatening, chronic parasitic
infestation can impair physical and mental growth and general
development of children. This study has shown that
intestinal parasites are still highly prevalent among children
under 5 years of age in Nigeria. The presence of these three
parasitic intestinal parasites among children with diarrhea in
Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria supports the earlier observations
that parasitic infections constitute a major public health
problem in the country. The study also provides data for
understanding the epidemiological status of the human
gastrointestinal parasites in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria.

Abstract:
The abortion intentionally has a
long literature in the history of different human societies. The
crime of abortion intentionally including: bring the embryo out
as intentional, before its normal born time, especially if it is
brought out of Mother’s womb as dead or not livable, this is a
kind of crime which related to women and all of populous
countries involve with it. Religions divine like Islam are also
precursors of human dignity by Holy God, and they know that the
live right for embryo is Godsend and any offensive to this
creature, counted as big sins which deserve to be punished.
Before blowing soul to the embryo, it has a vegetable life.
After blowing soul to embryo in fourth month, it enjoys of human
or animal life. Same vital transforming in embryo’s life caused
to change legal and religious orders taking away of embryo’s
life before or after blowing soul to it is per se unlawful but
maybe this respect in some assumptions in Contention with more
important rights as mother’s life right may be ignored and other
rights would be preferred on it. The Shiite jurists and Sunnis
in the field of taking life away of fetus in different stages of
its life, considered some particular blood money, but none of
them announce a particular nemesis for murder in abortion
intentionally before blowing soul to the embryo. But nemesis for
abortion intentionally after blowing soul to fetus counted (as
one of the most important stages of human life) that has been
changed to dispute argument subject between jurists. Some
believe that the murder in this situation should deserve to be
punished and others cancelled the nemesis order for murder. No
doubt, second group idea, it is not associated with deprivation
any penalties except paying blood money from murder but
according this idea the murder committed a kind of crime and
unforgiving sin for the reason she deserves to be punished. But
from this groups’ idea, some jurists say that “the murder cannot
be punished to death only for killing her embryo whose blown
soul in it.

Abstract:
Between Islamic religions
including (Gaphare, Male key, Hanafee, shafee, Hanbalee) in
particular of women Judgment, There are three viewpoints: a
group believes that being a man is the judgment conditions and
they think women cannot be a Judge. Other group also believes
that, being a man is not the Judgment conditions. In this area,
there is not any difference, between man and woman. Other group
attached to the detail which means, where the woman’s testimony
is acceptable, her Judgment would be dominant too. In this
writing, due to the importance of this issue, we accurately
intent to review the reasons and different documents each group.
From the sum of these arguments and discussions, the citation
reasons come out for the first group as they claimed this matter
can be a positive prohibition in woman judgment and for this
matter their reasons rejected or damage to it. Therefore, the
acceptance of this view point that women can be judge as men
sounded true.
