Gene encoding virulence markers among Escherichia coli isolates from diarrhoeic stool samples and river sources in rural Venda communities of South Africa

TL;DR: River water sources and diarrhoeic stools of residents in the Venda Region, Limpopo Province of South Africa were analysed for the prevalence of Escherichia coli and the presence of virulence genes among the isolates, revealing a possibility of a recycling of pathogenic E. coli strains, particularly the EPEC and NEC strains, between the water sources
In vitro activity of three selected South African medicinal plants against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase
TL;DR: Crude extracts of three ethnobotanically selected medicinal plants were screened for activity against two functions of human immunodeficiency type 1 reverse transcriptase, and methanol extract of the leaves of Terminalia sericea was found to strongly inhibit the polymerase and ribonuclease H activities.
Profiles of antibiotic susceptibilities of bacterial isolates and physico-chemical quality of water supply in rural Venda communities, South Africa
Chikwela Lawrence Obi,Pascal O. Bessong,Mnb Momba,Natasha Potgieter,Amidou Samie,E. O. Igumbor +5 more
TL;DR: Results obtained revealed that all the physico-chemical variables of the water sources analysed were within normal recommended limits for safety of drinking water except for turbidity, which exceeded recommended limits and hence precludes the rivers from direct domestic use.
