Abstract:

A study was carried out to determine the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of bacteria isolates associated with selected waste dumpsites in Akure metropolis, Nigeria. Results revealed that the total plate count of bacteria ranged from 1.3×105 cfu/g to 3.0×106 cfu/g. Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Streptococcus faecalis, Shigella dysenteriae, Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus, Serratia marcescens, Clostridium botulinum were the isolated bacterial species. The temperature and pH values ranged from 26˚C to 28˚C and 5.68 to 6.48 respectively. Ps

Abstract:

Microbial density and diversity, as well as concentrations of lead, in selected street-hawked foods in Akure metropolis were investigated in this study. Street-vended/hawked foods oﬀer numerous advantages to food security; nevertheless, the safety of street foods has been an issue of serious concern, mainly because of the poor sanitary standards and inadvertent contaminants. Seven selected food samples (zobo drink, rice and stew, African star apple, meat pie, cucumber, white pap, smoked fish) were purchased from vendors at three busy road intersections within the city. Metals were analyzed wit

Heavy metals in soils pose a potential threat to the environment and can cause significant damage to human and animal health. This study aimed to assess heavy metal concentrations, photosynthate levels, biochemical characteristics, and anatomical responses in Telfairia occidentalis and Amaranthus hybridus collected within Akure metropolis, Ondo State, Nigeria. Fresh vegetable samples were randomly collected from four fertilized farmlands (denoted as A, B, C, and D) within the Akure metropolis. Heavy metal concentrations in the vegetable samples were determined using an Atomic Absorption Spectr
