Abstract

Background: The global rise in antibiotic-resistant urinary tract infections (UTIs) is a growing concern, particularly among diabetic patients. This study examines the antibiotic resistance patterns of bacterial uropathogens in diabetic patients at Sir Yahaya Memorial Hospital in Birnin Kebbi. Methods: A purposive sampling approach was used to collect 51 mid-stream urine samples in sterile containers. Cultural and biochemical methods were employed for the isolation and identification of uropathogenic bacteria. Antibiotic sensitivity testing was performed using the disc diffusion method, with results interpreted according to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Results: UTIs were prevalent in 23.5% (12/51) of the samples. Escherichia coli was the most prevalent uropathogen, accounting for 41.3% (7/17) of cases, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae at 23.5% (4/17). Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus mirabilis each contributed to 17.6% (3/17) of cases. Notably, E. coli and K. pneumoniae exhibited 100% resistance to chloramphenicol and sparfloxacin, respectively. Conclusion: These findings underscore the need for further molecular research to characterize these uropathogens and identify the genes contributing to antibiotic resistance.

Abstract

This study examines how libraries and information centers contribute to sustainable development in Nigeria through the provision of information resources for Islamic economics, banking, and finance. The research adopted a quantitative design with 338 respondents comprising librarians, Islamic bankers, economists, and finance professionals. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics including frequencies, percentages, mean scores, and standard deviations. Findings revealed that libraries provide diverse information resources including books, journals, databases, and digital materials to support Islamic finance education and practice. The mean score of 3.78 indicated strong agreement that these resources contribute significantly to sustainable development goals. However, challenges such as inadequate funding, limited specialized collections, poor infrastructure, staff training gaps, and low awareness among users were identified. The study recommends increased budgetary allocation, acquisition of specialized materials, infrastructure development, continuous staff training, awareness campaigns, partnerships with Islamic financial institutions, digitization initiatives, and policy formulation to strengthen the role of libraries in advancing Islamic finance knowledge for sustainable development in Nigeria..
