Abstract
The circulation of infectious diseases in urban and rural community settings remains to be a hectic problem. One of the sources of microbial diseases is bathroom. The current study aim to compare the quality and quantity of microbes of tiled and cemented bathroom of student’s hostel in Ijebu-north Local Government Area as a public health issues. Moistened swab stick were used to collect samples from bathrooms in forty (40) cemented bathroom and forty (40) tiled bathrooms using sterile cotton swab stick moistened with sterile normal saline. The microbial and biochemical analysis were also determined using standard methods. The coliform count of tiled bathroom ranged from 1.2 x 103 to 9.9 x 103 cfu/ml. The coliform count in cemented bathroom ranged from 1.6 x 103 to 13.2 x 103 cfu/ml. A total of one hundred and thirty six were isolated from the samples collected (seventy-two isolates were from cemented bathroom while sixty four isolates were obtained from tiled bathroom). The isolated organisms from tiled bathroom includes Escherichia coli, Proteus sp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Shigella sp while the organisms isolated from cemented bathrooms includes Escherichia coli, Proteus sp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus sp and Shigella sp. It is recommended that both adult and young should adopt the habit of hand washing practice after using the bathrooms or toilets and routine surface disinfection of the bathroom surface, this can prevent cross contamination.
