Article Synopsis
- - In Okada, Edo State, Nigeria, a study was conducted on 100 healthy students to find out the prevalence of nasal colonization by a common bacterial pathogen, revealing that 23% were carriers and 6% were methicillin-resistant (MRSA) strains.
- - The study involved testing isolates for their susceptibility to 22 different antibiotics, uncovering high levels of resistance, particularly among MRSA strains to multiple classes of antimicrobials including beta-lactams and fluoroquinolones.
- - The presence of resistant bacterial clones in a university setting highlights a significant public health concern, as it suggests the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria within Nigerian communities.
