Antimicrobial resistance dataset for pattern recognition in machine learning application.

This study presents a dataset of bacterial isolates collected from abattoirs in Osun State, Nigeria, designed to support research on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The environment plays a critical role in the development and spread of AMR, posing a growing threat to global health. This dataset aims to address challenges in antibiotic selection by enabling the prediction of effective drugs for specific bacterial infections.

Prevalence of Type III Secretion System (T3SS) and Biofilm Development in Genetically Heterogeneous Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Nigeria.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in seriously ill patients is a major concern due to its ability to form biofilm and secrete effector toxins. There is little information on the prevalence of T3SS effector toxins and biofilm production in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa from Nigeria.

Incidence and Molecular Characterization of Carbapenemase Genes in Association with Multidrug-Resistant Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Tertiary Healthcare Facilities in Southwest Nigeria.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, resistant to multiple antibacterial agents including carbapenems, is of great global public health concern. There is limited data available regarding incidence of Metallo-Beta Lactamase producing P. aeruginosa, their molecular basis of resistance in particular carbapenem resistance and any genetic relatedness among circulating clinical isolates in Southwest Nigeria.

HIV-hepatitis co-infection in a rural community in Northern Nigeria.

Introduction: HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C pose a public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa and there are only few studies on co-infection of these viruses done in rural areas in Northern Nigeria. This study provides a rural perspective on HIV-hepatitis co-infection in a Northern Nigerian community.

Methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out amongst people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in a rural community hospital over a three-month period.
