This study was aimed at isolation and identifying microorganisms from some liquid herbal mixtures sold in Enugu metropolis, South East of Nigeria. A total of twenty samples of herbal mixture were selected at random, from herbal shops in Enugu metropolis and were analysed in the Microbiology laboratory, Godfery Okoye University. samples were inoculated onto Nutrient agar, MacConkey agar and Blood agar plates, and incubated at 37oC for 24 hrs. Potato dextrose agar slants were also inoculated for the isolation of fungi. Viable bacterial counts of the samples were also performed using nutrient agar. The organisms isolated were identified using biochemical tests. The following organisms were identified Streptococcus sp, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus sp, Proteus sp, Aspergillus sp, Rhizopus sp, Pseudomonas sp Bacillus sp, Penicillum sp mucor sp. the herbal medicine was highly contaminated. Most of the organisms, isolated were gotten through poor handling, poor manufacturing of the herbal mixtures and raw materials used in preparing these herbal mixtures....Preview Download Preview +Other Microbiology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Isolation and identification of microbes associated with spoilage bread»Bacterial analysis of urine polluted environment in federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri»Microbiological quality of palm kernel fruits»Microbiological evaluation of home made grape juice»Therapeutic potential of Moringa Oleifera leaves»Antibacterial activity of honey on staphylococcus aureusescherichia coli and streptococcus pyogen isolated from wound»Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial assessment of Spondias Mombin (Ijikara)»Bacteriological monitoring of abattoirs in Ehime Mbano in Imo state»Biodeterioration of natural and artifical stone»Proximate, selected vitamins, and minerals analysis of Moringa Oleifera»The effect of crude avocado and pawpaw leaves extract on kidney function of guinea pigs»Microbial examination of raw meat obtained at main abattoir, Offa»Isolation and characterization of fungi associated with the spoilage of corn grown in farms in Rukpokwu community»Isolation and identification of bacterial aerosols bioaerosols dump sites in Yenagoa»Incidence of staphylococcus and salmonella species in Kunuaya retailed in Yenagoa
