Antimicrobial susceptibility of H. pylori isolated from suspected patient using stool sample at Malali Hospital and Maternity Clinic Kaduna, Kaduna State – Nigeria

Abstract

The antimicrobial susceptibility of Helicobacter pylori isolated from suspected patient using stool sample at Beijing greatest college of health sciences and technology, Kaduna, demonstration clinic.

The analyses were carried out to further understand the intestinal environment condition of the sample sites. As it has been noted that: it is difficult of growing Helicobacter pylori in a broth, hence, no specific enrichment has been proposed.

Note: As everything present in the stomach would be found in the stools, hence there is no doubt that Helicobacter pylori can be eliminated via this route and successful culturing of Helicobacter pylori from the stool sample had been achieved. [4]. The stool was diluted to a 20% w/v solution of in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and the suspension was sieved through a 250 um strainer before plating onto the selective media. The sample was passed through a series of dilution techniques and centrifugation before finally plating on to the deoxycholate citrate agar (selective) and incubates at 37^oC under the microacrobic atmospheric oxygen concentration of 7 – 12% (O₂) for four (4) days.

Across the cultured, the cultured plate there was marked abundant of bacterial cells with some colonies having the characteristics of Helicobacter pylori which later sub-cultured and isolated for antimicrobial test.
