Incidence of Salmonella spp., Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp. and Two Micronutrients (Zinc and Iron) Present in Poultry Feeds Collected from Sokoto, Nigeria
Abstract: Mostly, poultry quality is determined by its feed. Thus, in this time of ravaging pollution and infectious diseases monitoring of quality of products related to poultry is eminent. This study aimed at determining the incidence of some microbes and micronutrients (zinc and iron) in poultry feed in Sokoto, Nigeria. Standard methods and materials of analytical grade were used. Zinc and iron micronutrients were determined in feed and egg using atomic …

The Predatory Bacteria, Bdellovibrio and Like Organisms (BALOs): An Emerging Savior for Human Welfare
Abstract: Bdellovibrio and like organisms (BALOs) are capable of killing other Gram negative pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria dwelling in a diverse environmental niches such as soil, freshwater and ocean. The predatory nature of BALOs can be a viable alternative to conventional use of antibiotics to treat ocular, periodontal, respiratory and fish pathogen infections since the incessant use develops resistance against them. Unique property such as potential to survive in ecologically hazardous …

Antibiotic Resistance Profiles of Salmonella Isolated from Al-Gharraf River and Iraqi Sewage
Abstract: Salmonella is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. It has a rod-shaped (bacillus) structure. Salmonella is a prominent contributor to gastrointestinal sickness worldwide. In addition, it is the causative agent of more systemic severe disorders such as typhoid and paratyphoid fevers. Salmonella is primarily recognized as pathogens transmitted by water and food to people and animals. Salmonella is often found in water-related epidemics, even though it is routinely …

The Effects of Physiochemical Parameters and Microbial Counts on Metal Coupons Corrosions in Freshwater Environment at Different Water Depths
Abstract: The effect of water quality on metal coupon corrosion was investigated at the New Calabar River in Choba. The study examined metal corrosion rates at five different depths: 30 cm, 60 cm, 90 cm, 120 cm, and 150 cm in a freshwater environment. Water samples were collected at each depth and analyzed for physicochemical and microbial parameters to understand their impact on metal degradation. Key parameters measured included pH, Electrical …

A Single-domain Antibody Cross-reacts with Lipopolysaccharide from Diverse Gram-negative Bacteria
Abstract: Gram-negative bacterial sepsis and endotoxemia are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in animals and humans worldwide, and attempts have continued to design rational therapies. Endotoxin/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-neutralizing polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies have been produced, but are not free from problems. Single-domain antibodies (dAbs), constructed from the camelid and the shark ‘heavy chain antibodies’ by phage display technology possess favorable features for in vivo applications. The objective of this study …

Typhoid Fever: Etiology, Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, and Management
Abstract: Typhoid fever is a systemic and potentially life-threatening infectious disease caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi, which primarily spreads through the fecal-oral route via ingestion of contaminated food and water. It continues to be a major global public health concern, particularly in developing and low-resource countries where poor sanitation, inadequate personal hygiene, and unsafe water supplies prevail. The disease is characterized by prolonged high-grade fever, abdominal discomfort, headache, loss of …

Mannan-Rich Fractions in Poultry Nutrition: A Sustainable and Defensive Strategy against Antimicrobial Resistance
Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has evolved to be a significant global threat, menacing worldwide health and food security. Its proliferation in poultry farming has spurred the search for sustainable, non-antibiotic alternatives. One promising alternative is Mannan-Rich Fractions (MRFs), which is derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These bioactive compounds not only support poultry health but also aid in suppressing pathogenic bacteria without contributing to resistance. This review brings together current studies highlighting how …

Herbal Frontiers: The Role of Alternative Remedies in Combating Typhoid Fevers
Abstract: Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella typhi, remains a major health challenge, particularly in developing regions where sanitation and healthcare resources are limited. With an estimated global incidence of 17 million cases annually, the disease poses a significant public health burden. The growing resistance to conventional antibiotics, such as fluoroquinolones and third-generation cephalosporins, exacerbates treatment challenges. This has spurred interest in alternative remedies, including herbal and homeopathic treatments.Herbal medicine offers a …
