    Abstract: Food contaminated with antibiotic resistant bacteria pathogens is a major threat to public health. Apart from infecting man they serve as reservoirs of genes for antimicrobial resistance and they easily transfer the resistant genes to both related and unrelated bacterial species; hence the aim of the present study. The prevalence, antibiotic sensit... Show More

    Abstract: The urinary tract is the second most common site of bacterial infection after the respiratory tract. Enterobacteria remain the first cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs), followed by staphylococci and non-fermenter bacteria. Furthermore, bacteria producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) have become more frequent, exposing African pati... Show More

    Abstract: Background: Despite the multitude of studies on non union no clear criterion has been established for declaring a fracture as non united. A diagnosis of non union is unjustified, however, until clinical or radiographic evidence shows that healing has ceased and that union is highly improbable. A fracture of the shaft of a long bone should not be co... Show More
