Abstract
Communicable diseases are major causes of death in infants, young children in their reproductive age and patient with compromised immune systems This study isolated two hundred and three (203) isolates on screening stool samples using routine cultural and biochemical methods, result obtained include Escherichia coli (23%), Salmonella choleraesuis (10%), Salmonella gallinarum (13%), Salmonella paratyphi (3%) Salmonella pollorium (2%), Salmonella typhi (1%) Proteus vulgaris (4%), Proteus mirabilis (6%) Shingella flexneri (1%), Klebsiella aerogenes or Enterobacter aerogenes (12%), Klebsiella pneumonia (4%), Yersinia pestis (6%), Yersinia enterocolitica (8%) Edwardsiella tarda (1%), Providencia rettgeri (1%) and Ewingella americana (1%). The antibiotics susceptibility test shows the resistance and susceptibility pattern of isolates to antibiotics. Escherichia coli, was resistant to Augumentin, Ceftazidine, Cefiximine, Ceftriaxone, Nitrofurantoin and Cloxacilin. Salmonella spp was resistant to Augumentin, Ceftazidine, Cefiximine, Ceftriaxone, Erythromycin and Gentamicin. However, there are variable resistance and susceptibility against antibiotics by isolated bacteria. This study has revealed the presence of potential enteric pathogens such as of E. coli, Proteus spp, Shigella spp, and Salmonella typhi among apparently healthy students, it has also further drawn attention to the growing concern of the antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria among apparently healthy students. Therefore, an awareness campaign on hygiene behaviours, improved water quality measures, enhanced hygiene techniques, and the proper use of medication
