Scientific research
The research interests of undergraduate students in the Medical Laboratory Sciences program are focused on several key areas, the most important of which are:
-
Medical Microbiology and the study of infectious diseases, with a particular emphasis on the problem of antimicrobial resistance. Numerous studies have addressed resistance patterns in Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
-
Clinical biochemistry and the assessment of vital functions, including studies on chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
-
Evaluation of nutritional status and deficiencies in essential elements, including vitamin D, zinc, and iron.
-
Epidemiological studies and the calculation of prevalence rates, with a focus on specific community groups such as workers, internally displaced persons, children, and university students. This reflects a comprehensive perspective on public health and applied laboratory medicine.

| 1 | Bacteriological Profile of Meningitis in Sana'a, Yemen: Two Years Retrospective Study | Determining the bacterial isolates and their sensitivity pattern in the cerebrospinal fluid of acute meningitis patients at the University of Science and Technology Hospital in Sana'a city was the purpose of this investigation. The study was carried out retrospectively at USTH, which serves Yemen's urban and rural populations. Between January 2021 and December 2022, 187 samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from meningitis patients with clinical suspicion underwent bacteriological examination. | Asma'a Mutaher |
| 2 | Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Tribulus Terrestris Extract Against Multi-Resistant Bacteria | This study seeks to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of ethanolic extracts of Tribulus terrestris against four pathogenic bacteria in vitro. In this experimental work, the antibacterial effects of a Tribulus terrestris extract evoked by ethanolic solvent on S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and K. pneumoniae were investigated using the disc diffusion assay. | Kholood AL-Sharafi Jeehan Al-Neshmi Olof Almathehgi Enas Mahyob Samah Al-Hddad Yomna Waleed Alzubairy |
