Molecular Characterisation and Detection of Antibiotic Resistant Genes in Escherichia coli isolated from Senilia senilis (Cockle) in Rivers State, Nigeria

Barika, P.N*, Sampson, T, Akani, N.P, Peekate, L. P.

In controlling E. coli infections antibiotics that were once effective are now ineffective due to the bacteria acquired resistance to these antibiotics. This research is carried out to characterize and identify Escherichia coli isolated from edible cockle (Senilia senilis) by molecular methods and screened for the presence of blaTEM gene that confe...

A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION ON THE EMERGENCE OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT BACTERIA RESULTING FROM INAPPROPRIATE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN THE PURIFICATION OF ALGAL CULTURES

Peekate, L. P.*, Abu, G. O

Cultures of algal species are often needed for research purposes. These cultures are frequently accompanied by bacteria that are picked up from the environment together with the algal cells, thus the practice of purifying algal cultures using antibiotics. Water sample from fish pond having algal bloom was inoculated into BG-II medium supplemente...
