Abstract:Due to the lack of a leachate collection mechanism at most dump-sites waste is known to be a source of soil pathogens. This study aimed to detect microorganisms in dump-site soils coupled with testing the susceptibility of the detected microorganisms to selected antibiotics Soil samples were collected from five separate dump-sites in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria. From the soil samples that were collected, eight species of bacteria and eight species of fungi were isolated. The bacterial and fungal derived fr… Show more
