Prevalence, distribution, and antibiotic resistance of bacterial isolates in daycare centers in Ile-Ife, Nigeria.

This study investigates bacterial pathogen prevalence in daycare centers in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, highlighting significant contamination and high antibiotic resistance rates, particularly among . Findings underscore the need for enhanced infection control measures, sanitation practices, and public health interventions to protect children's health in resource-limited settings.

Molecular characterization of antibiotic resistance in bacteria from daycare centres in Ile-Ife, Nigeria.

Background: Antibiotic resistance is an escalating global health issue, with particularly severe implications in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as Nigeria. This study examines antibiotic-resistant bacteria's prevalence and molecular characteristics in daycare centres in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, where high antibiotic use and limited infection control measures present significant challenges.

Methods: Between November 2017 and July 2019, samples were collected from 20 daycare centres, including swabs from fomites and children.

Molecular characterisation of virulence genes in bacterial pathogens from daycare centres in Ile-Ife, Nigeria: implications for infection control.

Background: Daycare centres play a critical role in early childhood development but are high-risk environments for infectious disease transmission due to close physical contact, shared toys, inadequate hygiene, and poor ventilation. These risks are especially concerning in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Nigeria, where resources for infection control may be limited. This study aimed to identify and characterise virulence genes in bacterial isolates from daycare centres in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, to assess infection risks.

Occurrence of coliforms and biofilm-forming bacteria in raw, treated, and distributed water from two waterwork systems in Osun State, Southwestern Nigeria.

This study assessed the bacteriological quality of raw, treated, and distributed water from Ede-Erinle and Opa reservoirs in Osun State, Nigeria. This was to determine the potability of water from these waterwork stations. Eighteen sampling points were established across the two reservoir networks for this study.

Molecular analysis of multidrug-resistant E. coli in pediatric UTIs: findings from a Nigerian Hospital.

Introduction: This study aimed to isolate and characterize antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli from urine samples of children at the Mother and Child Hospital in Ondo State, Nigeria, assessing antibiogram profiling and resistance genes.

Methodology: Three hundred urine samples (158 females, 142 males), aged 3-5 years, were collected, transported on ice, and analyzed bacteriologically. E.
