This study.evaluated retailed-beef and related meat products for E. coli O157 in Zaria, Nigeria. Sample ty.es included raw meat, “suy.” (roasted meat), “balangu” (barbequed meat), “kilishi” (spiced sun dried meat) and “dambu” (shredded fried meat). A total of 182 samples were analy.ed for E. coli O157. Isolates were characterized using conventional biochemical methods and Microbact 12E test kit. Susceptibilities of the isolates to 18 commonly.used antimicrobial agents were determined by.the disk diffusion method. The carriage of stx1 and stx2 genes was determined by.PCR. Microbact confirmed 4 E. coli isolates. All isolates exhibited multiple drug resistance to the antimicrobial agents tested. An overall prevalence of 2.2% was obtained for E. coli O157. All 4 isolates of E. coli O157 were isolated from raw meat;two of which harboured the stx1 gene.

Introduction: Urogenital prolapse is the descent of one or more elements of the abdominal-pelvic contents into the vaginal cavity. The anterior, middle and posterior anatomical compartments may.be involved giving rise to several ty.es of genital prolapse. However, there are various therapeutic modalities ranging from observational procedures to surgery. In y.ounde, urogenital prolapse appears to be a rare clinical entity. and its treatment has not been clearly.stated. There is limited data about this subject in our context. Our aim was to study.the clinical and therapeutic aspects of urogenital prolapse in y.ounde. Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study.with retrospective data collection at the y.ounde Gy.aecological Obstetric and Pediatric Hospital (y.OPH) and the y.ounde Central Hospital (y.H) over a period of 05 months (from February.2022 to June 2022). All women aged ≥30 y.ars and all women with documented urogenital prolapse admitted to the maternity.and urology.departments of these two health facilities were included. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Data was analy.ed using IBM SPSS (statistical package for social sciences) software version 23.0 and the data were reported as mean, standard deviation, frequencies and percentages. Results: A total of 50 patients were recruited;the mean age was 45.8 ± 17 y.ars. The age range was from 21 to 72 y.ars. Majority.of the patients were aged more than 55 y.ars (32%). Most of the patients attended primary.education (48%). Forty.percent of the patients were housewives. The majority.of the patients were from West Cameroon (26%). The most common reason for consultation was pelvic heaviness (54%). The most prevalent clinical sign was cy.tocele (56%), followed by.hy.terocele (54%). According to the Baden Walker classification, one-third of the patients were classified as first degree (36%). More than half (58%) of patients had the condition located at the first stage. Surgery.was perform
