Abstract

Smoking is a problem that is difficult to stop, causing dangerous impacts for smokers. Various diseases caused by smoking can cause death for active smokers and passive smokers in mild to severe degrees, such as the emergence of systemic or local pathological conditions in the mouth or throat. This occurs due to a decrease function and damage to the antioxidant components of saliva, which is followed by a decrease in function. Staphylococcus aureus is an oral bacteria that is commensal but can be a pathogen in humans causing nosocomial Objective: Is there a relationship between the duration of smoking and the amount of cigarette consumption on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in active smokers. Methods: analytical observational with a cross sectional design. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling method Results: were positive for Staphylococcus aureus as many as 20 respondents. Data analysis carried out using the Chi-Square test obtained a p value < 0.01 and data analysis on the amount of smoking obtained a p value < 0.003. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between the duration and amount of cigarette consumption on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in active smokers.

Abstract

Dermatophytes are a classification of fungi that attack and damage keratinized tissue, including hair, skin, nails, and fur. The cause of this infection is keratinolytic filamentous fungi referred to as dermatophytes. Islamic boarding schools are often at risk of dermatophyte transmission, with warm and humid environments accelerating fungal growth in female students. Tinea capitis is a dermatophytosis that infects hair follicles and can cause hair loss and scaly lesions. The purpose of this study was to determine whether dermatophyte species cause Tinea capitis infections in female students. The method used was analytical observation with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling method. The results of the study with 20 respondents tested positive for dermatophyte fungi, 10 respondents and 10 respondents tested negative. In conclusion, the identification of dermatophyte fungi obtained Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum species in positive results. In negative results, non-dermatophyte fungi were found.
