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.

Distribution and antibiogram of species from hospital wastewater in Southwest, Nigeria.

Introduction: the continuous generation of wastewater and its release into the environment with little or no treatment remains a threat to the environment and public health. We examined the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of Vibrio species isolated from untreated wastewater samples from Ondo State Specialist Hospital Okitipupa, Nigeria, as part of the global efforts to provide information for containing the spread of resistant infections.

Methods: twelve hospital wastewater samples were collected aseptically and transported to the laboratory for analysis.
