Abstract

POSSIBLE ROUTES FOR BACTERIAL INFECTION; A CASE STUDY OF MOBILE PHONES OF SELECTED UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

*Udu-Ibiam Onyinyechi E.

ABSTRACT

Different brands of mobile phones from undergraduate students were examined as a possible route of bacterial infections. The study reveals that the total plate count of analyzed android mobile phones was within the range of 3.2 x 107 - 1.92 x 107 where as that of button phones range from 1.1.2 x 107- 2.24 x 107 .The result of morphological and biochemical characteristics of bacteria isolates from the samples shows that a total of three isolates were identified and they includes; Staphylococcus auerus and Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia with The result revealing that 50% of the isolates was Eschericia coli showing that it was frequently isolated from the phones closely followed by S.aureus that made up 44% of the isolates from themobile phones. The isolates were susceptible to majorly four out of the seven antibiotics used. The three isolates were susceptible to Vancomycin especially K. pneumonia that was 100% susceptible to vancomycin. This has indeed revealed the possibility of our personal item being a source of bacterial infection if not properly guarded.
