Abstract

In the modern era, stunting is still one of the issues that need attention in the health sector in Indonesia. The stunting rate in Indonesia from 2022 to 2023 is still at the same figure, which is around 21%. From SKI data, it is also known that the prevalence of stunting in the DIY region increased from 2022, namely 16.4% to 18% in 2023. In the process of child growth and development, mothers have a fairly important role. The aim of this activity is to increase public awareness, especially pregnant women and mothers of toddlers, about the importance of preventing stunting to improve the health quality of future generations. Through counseling and demonstrations, the public is given an understanding of cheap, nutritious, and easily available local foods, and several supplements that are good for fulfilling the micronutrients of pregnant women. Evaluation through questionnaires showed an increase in participant understanding, where the understanding score increased from 82.36 to 90.28. This shows that this activity is effective in increasing public knowledge and health cadres in Dukuh Ponggok, Sidomulyo Village, Bambanglipuro District. This counseling is expected to have a positive impact in reducing stunting rates through increasing awareness and implementing healthy eating patterns in families

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance has become a global health concern, driving the search for new antibacterial sources. Owing to their ability to biosynthesize diverse bioactive secondary metabolites, endophytic fungi isolated from mangrove plants have emerged as a sustainable resource for natural antibacterial compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi isolated from Avicennia marina collected from the Nusawiru Mangrove Conservation Area, Pangandaran, Indonesia. Isolation was performed using the direct plating method on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), followed by purification to obtain six pure isolates. The isolates were screened for antibacterial activity against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using an agar plug diffusion assay. Among the six isolates obtained, only AVM BT 4.2 exhibited antibacterial activity against MRSA, producing total inhibition zones of 15.77 ± 1.51 mm at 24 h and 15.39 ± 0.73 mm at 48 h, categorized as strong inhibition. However, none of the isolates inhibited P. aeruginosa. These findings indicate the potential of A. marina endophytic fungi as a source of antibacterial compounds against resistant bacteria and support further studies on molecular identification and bioactive metabolite characterization of secondary metabolites from the active isolates to support the development of natural antibiotic candidates based on sustainable coastal biological resources.
