Helicobacter pylori is the major cause of gastritis and duodenitis, and is responsible for the majority of gastric and duodenal ulcers. It is thought that Hpylori may have a benign influence in the prevention of reflux esophagitis and gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is due to failure of the gastro-esophageal anti-reflux mechanism, thus allowing gastric acid to damage the esophagea…

Isolation and Antibiotic Sensitivity of Aeromonas From Children with Diarrhea

Aerotnonas species are gram-negative, mot i le, facultative anaerobic, rod shaped, oxidase positive bacteria or the recently assigned family Aeromonadaccae. The significance of Aerolllonas species as causative agent of human diarrhoea has recently been established. The aim of the present study was to investigate the distribution, and antibiotic sensitivity of Aeromunas in nonhospitalized childr…

The defense mechanisms of the elderly are reduced due to several factors, such as increased susceptibility to infection, specifically urinary tract infection (UTI). A randomised placebo-controlled, double-blin trial was conducted to assess whether multi…

Comparative Analysis of Transport Media for Isolating Shigella

Transport media for Shigella include buffered glycerol saline (BGS), and Cary-Blair (CB). However being a liquid medium BGS may leak or spill during transport and thus may cause contamination. The other concem is the 30% concentration of glycerol in the inhibitory to some susceptible Shigella species. This study was conducted to determine the best and safe transport media for Shigella Rectal s…
