Prevalence, Antibiotic Susceptibility Profile, and Multiple Antibiotic Resistance Index of Gram-Negative Bacteria Isolated from Skin and Nasal Samples of Goats Bred in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Nigeria

Ukpai E. G.*, Okwuonu C. A.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global public health threat, with food-producing animals recognized as important reservoirs of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. In Nigeria, indiscriminate antibiotic use and weak regulatory frameworks have exacerbated resistant pathogen spread. Goats (Capra hircus) are widely reared in Abakaliki, Ebon...

Cephalosporin, Colistin, and Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor Resistance in Clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates: Associations with Patient Age and Gender in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital

Uzoeto H. O.*, Mohammed I. D., Ukpai E. G., Peter I. U.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections with remarkable capacity for antimicrobial resistance. This study investigated the resistance profiles of clinical P. aeruginosa isolates, focusing on cephalosporins, colistin, and beta-lactamase inhibitors, and examined associations with age group and gender. A total of ...
