ABSTRACT: The study on the bioremediation of heavy metal by bacteria isolated from mechanic workshop soil in FCT, Nigeria was conducted. A total of fifteen (15) soil samples were collected at random from motor mechanic shops in Lugbe (Abuja Municipal Area Council), Kuntunku in Gwagwalada and Dutse-Alhaji in Bwari, and in Gwagwalada, Bacillus cereus (3) was the most occurring bacteria, followed by Bacillus licheniformis (2) and only one (1) B. subtilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa each, were isolated. In Dutse, Bacillus subtilis (3) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2) were the only bacteria present in the soil samples. Meanwhile, B. subtilis (3) was the most prevalent in Lugbe soil, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2), B. Megaterium and Klebsiella pneumonia present has only one each. B. subtilis was the most frequently isolated bacteria with seven (37%), followed by five Pseudomonas aeruginosa (26%), three B. cereus (16%), two Bacillus licheniformis (11%) while and only one (1) B. Megaterium and Klebsiella pneumonia represented (5%) each was isolated. No effect was observed on heavy metal reduction by Bacillus licheniformis and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Pseudomonas aeruginosa had the most significant remediation impact on cadmium and lead in the soils from the mechanic workshop. Bacillus megaterium had a cadmium reduction of 1.24±0.00 µg/g and 1.36±0.00 µg/g of lead while Bacillus subtilis and Klebsiella pneumoniae had no reduction in the concentration of cadmium. However, further study should be carried out to ascertain the bioactive substance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa responsible for the bioremediation of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium.

Abstract: A cross - sectional  study was conducted from January 2024 to July 2024 in Dairy cattle in and around Asossa town in order to estimate the prevalence of mastitis, isolate and identify S.aurues from mastitic lactating cows, assess its antimicrobial resistance pattern and identify risk factors associated with mastitis. A total of 369 Dairy cows milk samples were collected with purposive sampling techniques. The overall prevalence of mastitis at cow level was 39.56 % with 14.90 % and 24.66 % of clinical and subclinical mastitis prevalence, respectively.  A total of 1476 quarters were examined to detect clinical and subclinical mastitis by physical examinations of udder, milk and by California Mastitis Screening Test. From a total of 1476 quarters examined, 13.41 % (198/1476) and 23.37% (345/1476) of quarters were affected by clinical and sub clinical mastitis, respectively.  In this study, the subclinical mastitis was higher than clinical mastitis. For all except Age and parity, intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors showed significant value for the prevalence of mastitis in the study area (P˂0.05). From 146 mastitis infected lactating cows, 543 milk samples were cultured and 22.22% S.aureus were isolated. The present result showed a significant association of resistance pattern with S.aureus isolates, particularly to amoxicillin (84.61%), penicillin G (78.84%), Cefoxitin (76.92%), Tetracycline (69.23%), Streptomycin (61.53%), Gentamycin (53.84%), and Vancomycin (61.53%). In this study, 76.92 % S.aureus isolates were resistant for Cefoxitin. There were also observed multidrug resistance, mainly to Penicillin G, Streptomycin and Tetracycline. The present study revealed higher prevalence of mastitis and occurrence of resistance S.aureus, which are dependent on multiple associated risk factors. S.aureus to various antimicrobials indicated that, there is existence of resistance for frequently isolated mastitis bacteria to commonly used antimicrobial agents in the study area. Hence, regular resistance follow-up, using antimicrobials sensitivity tests helps to select effective antibiotics and to reduce the problems of drug resistance developments towards commonly used antimicrobials.
