Antibiotic sensitivity patterns of bacterial pathogens associated with urinary tract infections in three general hospitals in Lagos, Nigeria
(Kamla-Raj, 2016)This study was carried out to identify the common bacterial pathogens associated with urinary tract infections and their susceptibility patterns to common antimicrobial agents. One hundred (100) clean catch midstream urine ... -
Association between human exposure to heavy metals/metalloid and occurrences of respiratory diseases, lipid peroxidation and DNA damage in Kumasi, Ghana
(Elsevier, 2018)Heavy metals and metalloids contamination in soils, water, food and livers of wild rats have been studied in Kumasi, Ghana and despite the estimated risks to residents, there is no epidemiological study to ascertain these ... -

(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2017., 2017)Tuberculosis (TB), a highly contagious bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is considered the leading cause of death globally from a single bacterial pathogen. The latest reports indicate 10.4 million ... -
Excretion of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites (OH-PAHs) in cattle urine in Ghana
(Elsevier, 2016)Previous studies of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in particulate matter, soils and livers of wild rats indicated that the city centre of Kumasi, Ghana has been severely polluted with high cancer potency. Cattle ... -
Investigating tissue-specificity in a mouse model of Leigh Syndrome using metabolomics
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)Mitochondrial disease (MD) is one of the most challenging groups of inborn disorders featuring a tissue-specific vulnerability, governed by largely unknown mechanisms. The value of metabolomics in multi-systemic MD ... -
Metabolomics biomarkers for tuberculosis diagnostics: current status and future objectives
(Future Medicine, 2017)Numerous studies have contributed to our current understanding of the complex biology of pulmonary tuberculosis and subsequently provided solutions to its control or eradication. Metabolomics, a newcomer to the Omics ... -
