Complementary natural sources with antimicrobial potentials including plants and plant-based products such as honey, are currently receiving great attention. As such, this study aimed to evaluate the medicinal potentials of honey by testing its antibacterial efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates associated with wounds infection.  Clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from infected wounds such as sepsis, bite, surgical, laceration and gunshots were obtained from Federal Teaching Hospital Katsina. The antibacterial activity of honey was assayed by Agar well diffusion technique using different concentrations of honey; 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% (v/v). Minimum Inhibitory Concentration and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration of honey were also determined. The mean zone of inhibition of honey against the isolates range from  10.6 mm to 22.6 mm. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of honey at 100% (v/v) differ significantly compared to other concentrations. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of honey was determined to be 25% (v/v) while the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration was estimated to be 75% (v/v). Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate from gunshot wound was more susceptible to honey and ciprofloxacin (control) compared to Pseudomonas aeruginosa from other wound types. This study's findings demonstrated honey's efficacy in treating wound infections. Natural products, such as honey, have enormous potential for combating antibiotic resistance. In vivo studies should be carried out to further study the impact of honey on biological systems.","PeriodicalId":23463,"journal":{"name":"UMYU Journal of Microbiology Research (UJMR)","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82709415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluated the phytochemistry and antibacterial activity of ethyl acetate leaf extract of Newbouldia laevis. The leaf of Newbouldia laevis was cold extracted with Ethyl acetate. The extract was evaluated for it phytochemical constituents using standard methods and antibacterial effect against some clinical bacterial isolates using well diffusion technique. The study revealed the presence of some phytochemicals, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, phenol, anthraquinones and steroids in the plant extract, which were believed to be a contributing factor to the observed antibacterial effects. The test isolates' susceptibility to the crude extract was measured at 25 mg/mL and 50 mg/mL, 75mg/mL and 100mg/mL. The growth inhibition of Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ranges from 9.66±1.54 to 13.00±0.00, 10.00±1.00 to 11.00±1.00, 9.33±0.57 to 11.00±1.00, 14.00±0.00 to 17.33±1.52 and 9.33±0.57 to 10.66± 1.52 mm respectively. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration was observed at 25mg/mL, 12.5mg/mL, 25mg/mL,12.5mg/mL and 25mg/mL against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively while the Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations was at 50mg/mL, 25mg/mL, 50mg/mL, 25mg/mL and 50mg/mL respectively. The observed antibacterial effects were believed to be due to the presence of alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, phenol, anthraquinones and steroids detected in the extract.

In this study, a one year monthly data for environmental and microbiological monitoring for storage areas (raw materials quarantine room, raw materials approved room, finished product quarantine room and finished product approved room) and production room were collected  and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 23. The results revealed that the lowest temperature (21.01oC) was obtained from the raw materials approved room. At the same time, the highest (29.50oC) was recorded from the finished product quarantine room. In contrast, the lowest relative humidity of 11.11% was obtained from raw materials quarantine room while raw materials approved room had the highest relative humidity of 33.33%. The results obtained for microbial loads showed that Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa recorded 0.00cfu/ml each. In contrast, the value obtained for total viable aerobic mesophilic bacteria plate count ranges from 0.00-28.67 cfu/ml and fungi range from 0.67-5.00 cfu/mL respectively. The significant difference was determined at p<0.05. However, the results obtained for the temperature, relative humidity and microbial loads were within the stated specifications. This shows that the temperature and relative humidity of the storage areas and the production room were controlled and well monitored in line with the current good manufacturing practice which will eventually positively impact the quality, marketability and stability of raw materials and drug products. Environmental monitoring of storage areas and production room should be highly encouraged in pharmaceutical industries to curb the menace of speedy degradation and loss of potency experienced in raw materials and finished pharmaceutical products.","PeriodicalId":23463,"journal":{"name":"UMYU Journal of Microbiology Research (UJMR)","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90414880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laccase was produced using maize cob as substrate under optimized culture conditions and purified using Gel Filtration Chromatography. Biuret method was then used to estimate the protein contents of the crude and partially purified laccase. Specific activities, purification fold and yield (%) of the crude and purified laccase enzyme were also estimated. Decolourization potentials of the crude and partially purified enzyme were evaluated using four dyes namely: Congo red, Methylene blue, Bromocresol green and direct yellow. Elution profile of partially purified laccase revealed that fraction 5 had the highest laccase activity (3.654 U/mL). Optimum conditions for enzyme activity were estimated to be 35oC and pH 6. Enzyme activity of the partially purified laccase (3.654 U/mL) was observed to be higher than that of the crude laccase (1.635 U/mL). Also, the partially purified laccase had higher specific activity (1.87 U/mg) compared to that of the crude laccase (0.41 U/mg). Higher percentage dye decolourization potential was observed using the partially purified laccase compared to the crude laccase.

A total of ninety (90) grain samples of maize and groundnut were collected between October to December 2020 and analyzed for total aflatoxins using Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA). Eighty-four 84(93.3%) of the samples had detectable aflatoxin levels (0.2-9.8ppb), while six 6(6.7%) had none. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the mean total aflatoxin content of the grains from stores, warehouses and household foodstuff samples. This could be attributed to agricultural practices and low temperature and humidity storage conditions, which were the same for all the stored grains. Overall, aflatoxin concentrations of the grain samples were within the acceptable limit (10ppb for maize and 15ppb for groundnut) for food safety set by NAFDAC. However, there could be further contamination during storage, particularly when temperature rises and humidity increases. Hence, improved storage conditions and monitoring of grain before sale are recommended to avoid contamination during storage and to ensure a healthy and safe food supply along the trade chain and to the consumers.","PeriodicalId":23463,"journal":{"name":"UMYU Journal of Microbiology Research (UJMR)","volume":"47 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79455464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
