Molecular Diagnosis and Identification of Carbapenemase Producing Acinetobacter baumannii among ICU Patients, in Khartoum State-Sudan

Authors: Shirehan M Ibrahim, Elamin M Ibrahim, Omer A Ibrahim, Enas Awad, Omnia M Hamid and Hassan A Alaziz

Abstract: Carbapenemase producing-Acinetobacter baumannii (CP-A.baumanii) has become a significant nosocomial pathogen because of its remarkable ability to acquire antibiotic resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular characterization of CP-A.baumanii isolated from intensive care unit (ICU), in Khartoum state sudan. Hundred isolates of CP-A.baumanii were collected from ICU patients, from the Royal Care International Hospital and the National Ribbat Hospital.

Production and Optimisation of Citric Acid by Yeasts Isolated from Kola Nut Pod Husk

Authors: Folake T Afolabi and Abayomi A Akanbi

Abstract: The work aimed to obtain yeast isolates capable of citric acid production from kola nut pod waste and to know optimum conditions that favour higher citric acid production. One hundred twenty seven (127) isolates were obtained out of which 46 were selected following primary screening for production of citric acid on compounded solid media. Nine (9) of these yeasts that had the highest potential for citric acid production having the largest acid production zones after primary and secondary screening were selected.
