1. ASSESSING THE ORAL HEALTH RECORDS AND ANTIBIOGRAM OF ANAEROBIC BACTERIA ISOLATES FROM PATIENTS VISITING DENTAL UNIT OF AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, ZARIA
ABSTRACT
Oral health can be a good indicator of general health and has been linked to systemic diseases, therefore, maintaining good oral hygiene is important. Oral infections are polymicrobial with dental caries and periodontal disease being the major oral conditions affecting the publ...
2. MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY OF LIVESTOCK-ASSOCIATED METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (LA-MRSA) FROM POULTRY IN EBONYI STATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is now a leading cause of staphylococcal infections in humans and animals. In this study, cloacae and nostrils of 1800 poultry birds selected at random in 9 farms spread across Ebonyi State and 19 poultry farm workers from thes...
3. MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF MULTIDRUG RESISTANT BACTERIAL UROPATHOGENS FROM PREGNANT WOMEN IN IBADAN METROPOLIS, SOUTH-WEST NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the commonest infectious diseases of women worldwide, and pregnant women are more predisposed. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of bacterial infecting agents in UTI during pregnancy, to establish their antimicrobial susceptibi...
4. ISOLATION AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS FROM POULTRY AND POULTRY FARM WORKERS IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
The increasing rate of drug resistance associated with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is not only a problem in the clinical sector but also in livestock disease treatment and management. Methicillin resistant Staph. aureus is now a leading cause of staphylococcal i...

6. MOLECULAR AND PHYLOGENETIC DIVERSITY STUDIES OF SOME ACHA (Digitaria spp.)LANDRACES OF THE JOS PLATEAU AND ITS ENVIRONMENTS
ABSTRACT
The evaluation of the molecular and phylogenetic diversity ofAcha (Digitaria spp.) landraces of the Jos plateau and its environs, was carried out between 2012, 2013 and 2014.The phenotypic and genotypic characters of the different accessions showed that variability due to effec...
7. PHENOTYPIC AND GENOTYPIC VARIABILITY STUDIES ON SOME RICE GENOTYPES IN LOW LAND ECOLOGY OF NIGERSTATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Variability has been known as a tool for any crop improvement programme. Yield improvement can be ascertained if there is enough variability existing in a population. Therefore, this study was conducted to asses morpho-agronomic variations in the lowland rice genotypes in an Al...
8. PHENOTYPIC AND GENOTYPIC VARIATIONS IN COWPEA (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) GENOTYPES IN NIGER STATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Cowpea production is faced with a number of constraints which results into low grain and fodder yields. The study was carried out to determine variation in yield with its component traits in different cowpea accessions. Twenty genotypes of Cowpea were evaluated in two locations...
