(Elsevier Science Limited, 2008)
Antimicrobial Activity of 1,3 Dihydroxyj–2–Methylimidazolium Bis (Trifluoromethylsulfonyl) Imde and Selected Antibiotics Against Streptococcus Species Isolated from Groundwater in the Northwest Province, South Africa
(Science and Education Publishing, 2014)
In developing countries, access to unsafe water and inadequate sanitation continue to be a danger to human health and untreated groundwater constitutes one of the main sources of drinking water supply. The consumption of ...
Prevalence of Escherichia coli O157 strains in cattle, pigs and humans in North West Province, South Africa
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2008)
Feces of feedlot cattle contain a diversity of bacteriophages that lyse non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2015)
This study aimed to isolate and characterize bacteriophages that lyse non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) from cattle feces. Of 37 non-O157 STEC-infecting phages isolated, those targeting O26 (AXO26A, ...

(Science and Education Publishing, 2014)
A total of 32 beef samples were collected from shops around the North West Province, South Africa and analyzed for the presence of Salmonella species. A total of 96 presumptive isolates were screened for characteristics ...
Genotypic Characterization of Shigella Species Isolated from Abattoirs in the North West Province, South Africa Using PCR Analysis
(Science and Education Publishing, 2015)
Foodborne pathogens pose a serious threat to food safety especially in developing countries where hygiene facilities are not well developed and operational practices in abattoirs and retail shops are often poor. Shigella ...
Induction of Shiga Toxins in Escherichia coli O157: H7 Isolated from Groundwater in the North West Province, South Africa intended for human consumption using Ampicillin and Tetracycline
(Kamla-Raj, 2016)
A total of 67 isolates from groundwater were used to determine their susceptibilities against 7 antibiotics and the Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) patterns were compiled. Most isolates were resistant to amocyxillin, ...
Detection of Penicillin Binding Protein 2a (PBP2a) in Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Milk Using Serological Assays
(Kamla-Raj, 2016)
A total 14 milk samples (7 unpasteurized and 7 pasteurized) were collected and analyzed for characters of S. aureus. Based on colonial morphology of the isolates all the samples were positive for the target organism ...
