“…The results of isolated bacteria showed that E. coli had the highest percentage frequency of 28%. This result tallies with the findings of Nwankwo, Magaji and Tijani ( 2015 ) with a reported frequency of 30.5%, which was also the highest amongst all the bacterial isolates. However, the total heterotrophic and coliform water samples obtained downstream showed lesser values, suggestive of dilution effect with respect to time, surface area and rainfall (Adebowale et al 2016 ).…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated the prevalence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in many parts of the world [15,16], and a number of individual reports are available in Nigeria [17,18,19]. This study was undertaken to bridge the gap on the paucity of data on the prevalence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a purely pediatric population in this part of the world.…”

“…Another study from Nigeria reported 14% and 16 % sensitivity ESBL producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates, respectively to amoxicillin/clavulanate and 43% and 21%, respectively to ceftazidime. Most bacterial pathogens showed more than 60% sensitivity to ceftriaxone, gentamicin and levofloxacin (25).…”
