Abstract
The prevalence of Candida albicans,
Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli { isolated from high vaginal swabs
of female students in MOUAU was carri,·d. Samples of high vagina swabs (HVS)
were collected from I 00 volunteer female students in the female hostel of
Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, and examined for pathogenic
organism. Of these samples 82 (0.82%) has an infection. The organisms isolated
include staphylococcus aureus which had the highest prevalence of 42 (0.42%) in
HVS samples. Candida albicans was next with 28 HVS samples. Escherichia coli
was identified only 12 (0.12) HVS samples. The age group 20- 25 years had the
highest prevalence. Mixed infections were also observed. I recommend that the
female students living in the hostel should endeavor to keep their hostel clean
and also engage in good personal hygiene so that they will not contaminate
themselves with the above mentioned microorganisms.
