“…It suggests that such drugs might not be effective in the treatment of ailments resulting from both bacteria. This observation is in concordance with the report of Ogunleye et al [16] that Bacillus and Staphylococccus isolated from well waters used in Iworoko-Ekiti, Nigeria, were totally resistant to Ampicillin. However, this finding is in discordance with the submissions of Soge et al [17] and Samie et al [18], who respectively reported 50% and 92% resistances to Ampicillin in Uganda and South Africa.…”

Aims:To investigate the susceptibility profile of bacterial isolates from hand dug wells and borehole waters within the Amai Kingdom, in Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Microbiology, Novena University, between April 2016 and November 2016. Methodology: A total of 30 boreholes and 30 well water samples were randomly sourced using sterile tightly locked plastic containers and transported to the laboratory within 2 hours. The water Ogu et al.; ARRB, 14(1): 1-9, 2017; Article no.ARRB.34326 2 samples were cultured using spread plate method and the pure bacterial isolates tested for susceptibility to some commercial antibiotic discs using the Kirby-Bauer method. Results: Bacteria were isolated respectively from 50% and 100% of the borehole and well water samples collected. A total of 45 bacterial isolates, distributed among the genera Staphylococcus (6.7%), Bacillus (10.0%), Escherichia (16.7%), Pseudomonas (11.7%) Enterobacter (8.3%), Proteus (10.0%), and Klebsiella (11.7%), was encountered. Majority of the isolates were sensitive to Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, Ciprofloxacin, Ceftriaxone, Gentamicin, Ofloxacin, and resistant to Ampicillin, Cotrimoxazole and Tetracycline. Bacillus sp (56%) was more resistant (p=.05) than S. aureus (33%), while the most resistant Gram-negative bacteria was Pseudomonas sp. (54%), followed by both E. coli (44%) and Klebsiella sp (44%), and both Proteus sp., (33%) and Enterobacter sp. (33%). Drug resistance was observed in at least three of the tested antibiotic disks. Conclusion: Findings from this study suggest that the drinking water sources in the Amai Kingdom are bacteriologically poor, with multiple-drug resistant bacteria, and thus of public health importance. Public education on dangers associated with indiscriminate dumping of waste and drug abuse is strongly recommended. Original Research Article

“…Most of the Gramnegative bacteria were found to be highly resistant to Ampicillin. Again, these findings in agreement with previous studies that several Gram-negative bacteria isolated from drinking water sources were becoming resistant to Ampicillin [16,19,20].…”

“…For example; isolates of various gram negative bacterial species recorded high rates of resistance collectively as 9 (64%), 8 (57%) and 6 (43%) against vancomycin, clindamycin and amoxycilin respectively. This result agree with [38,39,40] presence of multidrug-resistant strains poses a big challenge to human survival and continued existence in relation to bacterial infection and diseases that is highly consequential when contracted by the debilitated individuals. The observed high antibiotic resistances could be attributed to the abuse of antibiotics which showed that majority of the populace sampled purchases antibiotics in the open market without any medical prescription and use them for the wrong diseases and infections [40].…”

Aims: The aim of this study was to characterize bacteria isolated from circulating Kenyan banknotes and also antibiotic susceptibility profiles within Nyeri County. Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study and simple random sampling was used to collect 25 of each paper currency denomination. Place and Duration of Study: Samples analyses were done at Outspan Teaching and Referral Hospital (OTRH) laboratory, between March, 2019 and April, 2019. Methodology: Total of 125 currencies of five different denominations were collected from different marketing sources such as Butcheries, Restaurants, Health facilities, Mpesa outlets and Transport Saccos and dropped in sterile bags. The bacterial isolates were characterized on the basis of their morphology, staining and biochemical tests. Antibiotic sensitivity tests were done by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion technique. Results: Total of 19 different bacterial species were isolated from five Kenyan Bank note currencies. Of these, 37 (52.2%) was Staphylococcus aureus followed by Staphylococcus sciuri ssp.lentus 7 (9.9%), Staphylococcus gallinarum 2 (2.8%), Staphylococcus intermedius 6 (8.5%), Micrococcus sp. 1 (1.4%), Staphylococcus schleiferi ssp.coagulans 2 (2.8%), Staphylococcus sciuri ssp.rodentium 1 (1.4%), Kluyvera ascorbata 1 (1.4%), Proteus penneri 1 (1.4%), Aeromonas media 3 (4.2%), Burkholderia cepacia ssp.komplex (1.4%), Aeromonas enteropelogenes 1 (1.4%), Enterobacter cloacae 1 (1.4%), Klebsiella oxytoca 2 (2.8%), Leclercia adecarboxylata 1 (1.4%), Raoultella ornithinolytica 1 (1.4%), Vibrio metschnikovii 1 (1.4%), Myroides odoratus 1 (1.4%) and Yersinia pestis 1 (1.4%). Overall gram positive and gram negative bacterial isolates exhibited resistance to vancomycin, clindamycin and amoxycilin with percentages 40 (71%), 28 (50%), and 37 (66%) and 9 (64%), 8 (57%) and 6 (43%) respectively. Conclusion: This study revealed that Kenyan banknote currencies circulating in Nyeri County were contaminated with different pathogenic and potential pathogenic bacteria including multi drug resistant strains. Hence, great care must be taken while handling money during the preparation and handling of food to avoid cross contamination.
