Antibiotics Susceptibility Profile and Prevalence of Gram-negative Uropathogens from Asymptomatic Bacteriuria among Female Students in a University in Northern Nigeria

P. A. Ezeh, J. C. Igwe, R. O. Bolaji & B. O. Olayinka · Journal of Advances in Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences · 2017

Asymptomatic bacteriuria among healthy female students is a common occurrence that is frequently ignored and this is attributed to the fact that Pre-menopausal, non-pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria experience no adverse effects and usually will clear their bacteriuria...

Solid-phase Extraction of 4-Nitrophenol from Aqueous Solution by Brachystegia eurycoma Seed Hulls

David Jane, J. C. Igwe, V. A. Ajibola & F. O. Okibe · International Research Journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry · 2015

The adsorption of 4-Nitrophenol in aqueous solution by B. eurycoma seed hull was studied under the influence of environmental factors. Our result showed that 0.5 g B. eurycoma seed hull can effectively achieve 98% removal of 4-Nitrophenol at pH 12, temperature 25°C, 40 mins conta...
