The newer fluoroquinolones are a possible alternative treatment option for S. maltophilia infections in this environment but further studies and clinical investigations are needed to determine the in vivo efficacy of these drugs.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 22:57:08 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11245 Wed 12 May 2021 19:18:43 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11255 Thu 13 May 2021 06:53:04 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11262 .05). Interestingly, H pylori antigen was detected more often (100 percent) in the high socioeconomic group than in those of low socioeconomic group (85.9 percent). Sixteen (66.7 percent) of twenty four faecal samples that had previously tested positive for the organism by HpSA test were confirmed positive by PCR. However none of the treated tap water samples tested positive for the organism by PCR. The present iii study revealed a high prevalence of H. pylori in faecal samples of asymptomatic individuals in the Nkonkobe Municipality, an indication of active infection. The obtained results also revealed that direct treated tap water might not be playing a crucial role in the oral transmission of H. pylori in the studied population.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 01:42:38 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11261 0.05) in the potency of the xii four extracts (acetone, methanol, ethanol and ethyl acetate) and antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) on the different bacterial strains tested, likewise the crude extract and the fractions. No compound was detected by GC-MS whereas numerous peaks were identified by HPLC implying that the active compounds in this plant are non volatile. We could not identify the compounds thereby proposing further studies using Nuclear magnetic resonance to identify the compounds. The study revealed that the acetone extract of C. molle was the most active against all the test organisms and therefore justifies the use of this plant in traditional medicine.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 01:14:11 SAST ]]>
