Use of invA Gene Specific PCR Analysis for the Detection of Virulent Salmonella Species in Beef Products in the North West Province, South Africa
(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 ...
Phylogenetic analysis and diversity of novel endophytic fungi isolated from medicinal plant Sceletium tortuosum
(Elsevier, 2018)
Throughout history, mankind has used plants as their primary source of sustainability, in agricultural commodities, clothing, fragrances, fertilizers, flavours, and providing shelter. There is a strong symbiotic relationship ...
Molecular detection of clostridium species in beef obtained from retail shops in North West Province, South Africa
(Science and Educatiion Publishing, 2014)
Clostridium species cause diseases in humans that result from consumption of undercooked beef. The objectives of this study were to isolate Clostridium species from beef then the detection of the presence of tpi housekeeping ...
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 ...
Synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial studies and corrosion inhibition potential of 1,8-dimethyl-1,3,6,8,10,13-hexaazacyclotetradecane: experimental and quantum chemical studies
(MDPI, 2016)
The macrocylic ligand, 1,8-dimethyl-1,3,6,8,10,13-hexaazacyclotetradecane (MHACD) was synthesized by the demetallation of its freshly synthesized Ni(II) complex (NiMHACD). Successful synthesis of NiMHACD and the free ligand ...
Phenotypic and genetic characterization of sorbitol-fermenting Escherichia coli O157: H7 isolated from retail beef and mince beef
(Kamla-Raj, 2016)
Escherichia coli occur as normal flora in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. However, shiga-toxin producing E. coli and most especially serotype O157:H7 are a major group of food-borne pathogens. The consumption ...
