Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiversity and Resistance of Bacteria Isolated from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Surfaces and the Hands of Nurses in Jeddah-Saudi ArabiaRoqaiah M. Al-Jabri, Ahmed M. Al-Hejin, Rukaia Gashgari et al.Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are a serious problem for neonates when admitted to NICUs. The healthcare environment and healthcare workers' hands may be a source of transmission. Therefore, there is a need to find microbial sources and identify the contaminants to improve disinfection protocols to reduce HAIs. Out of the 169 samples collected on nutrient agar media from NICUs of a … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 5 Aug 2022 · 5,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOccurrence and Seasonal Variation of Antibiotics in Fez-Morocco Surface WaterOualid Chaib, Btissam Arhoune, Sanae Achour et al.The presence and accumulation of antibiotics in the water environment has become emerging contaminants of concern causing disruption of ecosystems worldwide. We describehere the seasonal variation and the occurrence of antibiotic residues in Fez city surface water (Morocco). During one year between February 2014 and January 2015, 8 surface water samples were collected monthly. Quantification of the 7 antibiotics was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 27 Aug 2019 · 9,182 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Susceptibility of Bovine Subclinical Mastitis and During Milk Separation Isolates and the Accompanying Hygienic PracticesSultan Farag Nagati, Safaa Khamis HassanMilk is considered one of the most perfect foods for humans and milk contains many nutrients.
