Prevalence of Multi Drug Resistant Coagulase Negative Staphylococci among some Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Clinic in Yola, Nigeria
Authors: Sale, M.  , Kanu, S. N.  
Published: July 2024

Study’s Novelty/Excerpt

This study presents findings on the prevalence and characterization of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) among pregnant women in public health facilities in Yola, revealing a significant prevalence rate of 26.97%.
The research highlights the high susceptibility of CoNS to certain antibiotics and the alarming presence of multi-drug resistant and extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing strains.
This underscores the necessity for routine screening of pregnant women for CoNS to prevent potential gestational complications, providing crucial data for public health interventions and antibiotic stewardship programs.

Full Abstract
Coagulase negative staphylococci have been reported to be a frequent agent of uncomplicated UTI in young sexually active women which can also lead to symptomatic infection, low birth weight (LBW) babies and preterm delivery. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and characterize coagulase negative staphylococci among pregnant women in public health facilities in Yola. A total of 250 urine samples were collected from pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Specialist Hospital and Boshang Clinic and Maternity both in Yola. The samples were cultured on cysteine lactose electrolyte deficient medium and isolates characterized using phenotypic methods. The prevalence of coagulase negative staphylococci from this study was 26.97%, Staphylococcus aureus 16.29% and Escherichia coli 36.51%. The frequency of CoNS was highest among age group of 36-40 years and least among 16-20 years (12.5%). CONS isolated from this study demonstrated high susceptibility to pefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, ceftriaxone and streptomycin. Some isolates showed high resistance to ampiclox, cefuroxime and amoxicillin. About 83% of the isolates had multiple antibiotic resistant indexes greater than 0.2 with about 25% of the antibiotic resistance being plasmid mediated. Furthermore, phenotypic screening using the double disk synergy test showed that 20 (40%) of the isolates were extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) producing. This study revealed the presence of multi-drug resistant and ESBL producing coagulase negative staphylococci among pregnant women in the study area. There is therefore the need for pregnant women to be screened for coagulase negative staphylococci to avoid complications during gestation period.

Study’s Novelty/Excerpt

This study investigates the phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance of Listeria monocytogenes isolated from food samples in Yola, revealing significant multi-drug resistance (MDR) in 72.72% of the isolates.
The research highlights alarming resistance rates to commonly used antibiotics, including 100% resistance to ceftriaxone and the presence of resistance genes blaCTX-M, blaTEM, and sul1 in all MDR isolates.
These findings underscore a potential public health crisis, indicating that future outbreaks of L. monocytogenes in the area may be difficult to control with the current antibiotic treatments.

Full Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen implicated in several lethal illness outbreaks. Future outbreaks may be more complicated to manage because of the surfacing of antibiotic resistance among L. monocytogenes strains in food products. Accordingly, this study aimed to determine the phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance of L. monocytogenes previously isolated from different food samples in Yola. Antibiotic resistance of L. monocytogenes was determined via disc diffusion and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Exactly 72.72% of the isolates were multi-drug resistant (MDR) with high resistance to Beta-Lactams and sulfonamides. Percentage resistance to ceftriaxone, ampicillin, augmentin, cefuroxime, and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim were 100%, 72.7%, 64.0%, 64.0%, and 54.5% respectively. The MDR isolates were subjected to PCR, and antibiotic resistance genes blaCTX-M, 7(100%), blaTEM, 7(100%), and sul1 7(100%) were detected in (72.72%) i.e. all the MDR isolates. L. monocytogenes isolates from food samples in this study area exhibited phenotypic and genotypic resistance to multiple antibiotics. This implies that future outbreaks of L. monocytogenes in the study area may be complicated to manage using the commonly used antibiotics tested in this study, representing a major public health concern.

Purpose: This research is aimed at describing the values contained in the magebagan tradition in Bali in terms of the Tri Hita Karana philosophy.
Design/methodology/approach: This research uses a qualitative approach which is explained descriptively. Research data was collected through observation, interviews and literature review. Data were analyzed and described qualitatively
Findings: It was found that in the parhyangan aspect the value contained is respect and devotion to ancestors which is vertically the same as the relationship between humans and God through ancestors. In the pawongan aspect, the magebagan tradition is very full of meaning of solidarity, solidity and mutual cooperation. From the palemahan aspect, through the magebagan tradition, safe and comfortable conditions will be created for the bereaved family spiritually and materialistically.
Implications: The magebagan tradition is not free from negative stereotypes but this tradition is also full of meaning. Negative practices that can reduce the meaning of this tradition need to be reduced so that later this tradition can remain the color of the noble Balinese culture.

Objective. To study state dynamics of the cardiovascular system of athletes in acyclic sports against the background of submaximal physical activity to identify individuals at high risk of cardiovascular complications, including sudden cardiac deathMaterials and methods. The survey was conducted among athletes of acyclic sports. Number of people examined: 50, average age 20.0±3.5 years old. Of these, 30 (60%) were men, average age 19.9±3.4 years old; women – 20 (40%), average age 21.0±3.8 years old. Qualification of athletes: CMS, MS, MSIC.Results. At rest, instability of the depolarization phase is indicated by two ECG markers: a fragmented frQRS complex and a spatial QRS-T angle of more than 105º. Fragmented frQRS was detected in 73% of young males and 33% of young females. The average values of the QRS-T angle were within the physiological norm: 63±23º in young males and 40±14º in young females. Electrical ventricular systole, expressed by the Q-T interval, was 373±26 ms in young males and 385±35 ms in young females. The average value of the second indicator of repolarization instability Q-T interval dispersion was 50.7±12.8 ms in young males and 39.3±14.6 ms in young females. The average TWA amplitude in young males was 21.0 (18; 24) μV, and 20.5 (14; 25) μV in young females. Analysis of ECG markers of dysfunction of autonomic nervous regulation showed that the slowdown in heart rate DC was 19.0 (14.8; 31.5) ms in young males, 19.5 (11.8; 21.5) ms in young females. The acceleration of heart rate AC in young males was 19.8 (13.8; 26.0) ms, and 19.5 (11.5; 21.5) ms in young females.After the load, no statistically significant changes in the frequency of detection of fragmented frQRS were observed in young males (p = 0.7472), while in young females a statistically significant increase in the frequency of detection of frQRS was detected (p = 0.0226). The average value of the QRS-T angle increased significantly – from 63±23ºto 85±25º in young males (p = 0.0117), while it did not change significantly in young females – from 40±24º to 55±26º (p = 0.2606). Q-T dispersion in afterload compared to rest increased from 50.7±12.8 ms and reached 72.8±25.0 ms (p = 0.000) in young males and from 39.3±14.6 ms to 68.2 ±10.7 ms in young females (p = 0.0029). Deceleration (DC) and acceleration (AC) of heart rate decreased significantly in young males. For young males – by 77.7 and 82.3%, respectively (p < 0.0001), and for young females – by 84.9 and 80.0%, respectively (p < 0.0001).Conclusion. At rest, we identified only 10 markers of electrical instability of the myocardium, and 38 markers after exercise, that is, almost 4 times more. This suggests that even in highly qualified athletes, load causes a trend towards electrical instability of the myocardium, mainly in the repolarization phase and in relation to autonomic nervous regulation.
