Microbiological Assessment Of Old Foot Wears (Shoes, Slippers ) In Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture Umudike, Abia State
ABSTRACT
The Microbiological assessment of old foot wears (shoes, slippers shoes) were evaluated to assess the presence of contaminants in shoes worn by students in MOUAU. Five (5) bacteria and two (2) fungi were isolated in this study, which includes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella sp., Aspergillus sp and Mucor sp. Staphylococcus aureus had the highest percentage occurrence of 37.73%, Escherichia coli had percentage occurrence of 33.96%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa had percentage occurrence of 7.54% while Klebsiella sp had percentage occurrence of 20.75%. Aspergillus sp showed 71.42% and Mucor sp with 28.56% occurrence. This study has shown that shoes harbour microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi which are highly pathogenic in the entire environment.
