Research

My Research area focuses on antibiotic resistance in bacteria from different sources such as well water, wastewater, Surface water, Bat guano e.t.c. Currently, I am researching antibiotic resistance from abattoir samples with a special interest in ESKAPE pathogens. I have a keen interest in using the “One Health Approach” as declared by WHO to resolve this giant steering us in our face. In addition, I am also researching on natural products to combat antibiotic resistance.
