Antibiotic Resistance (BSc)
Read the science behind thisBachelor's thesis in Microbiology (Godfrey Okoye University): antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria isolated from poultry feed in Enugu, Nigeria. Sample only.
This was Jessica's undergraduate research, and it was hers to run. Antibiotic Sensitivity Assessment of Bacteria Isolates from Poultry Feed Sold in Enugu Metropolis was submitted in July 2021 for her B.Sc. Microbiology at Godfrey Okoye University. Feed was sampled from vendors across the Ogbete and Abakpa markets, twenty-four isolates were recovered and identified, and each was then assessed for antibiotic sensitivity. The degree closed with First Class Honours, a CGPA of 4.74 out of 5.00, and the university valedictorianship for 2020/2021. She had held a merit scholarship for its full duration, awarded in October 2018, and was inducted into the university's Hall of Fame in November 2022. In late 2021 she presented at the Nigerian Association of Microbiology Students national conference at the University of Calabar. Resistance work is not what she does now. It is where she learned that a result is only ever as good as the sample it came from, which is the habit she carried to Freiburg.
