1. ANTIBIOTICS SUSCEPTIBILITY STUDIES OF SOME BACTERIAL ISOLATES FROM PACKAGED MILK MARKETED IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Milk contamination with antibiotic resistant bacteria can be a major threat to public health, as the antibiotic resistant determinants can be transferred to other pathogenic bacteria potentially compromising the treatment of severe bacterial infections. This study was conducted...

ABSTRACT
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. Previous studies reported the identification of MRSA in food demonstrating that food can represent a source of Staphylococcus aureus which may carr...
