Abstract

Conjunctivitis is the most common eye disease, characterized by contextual inflammation, which can be caused by bacteria. The diagnosis of conjunctivitis is established based various factors, including the patients’s medical history, onset of eye symptoms, non-ocular symptoms, previous disease history, family medical history, allergies, and physical examination of the eyes, which may include assessments of visual acuity and vision field. Some cases of conjunctivitis require laboratory examinations to confirm the diagnosis. These may include cytological examination with Giemsa staining, Chlamydia Diagnostic Test, Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) or Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and microbiological tests. Microbiological examination helps identify the bacteria responsible for conjunctivitis and aids in treatment by prescribing antibiotics to suppress the growth of the infecting bacteria. While identification tests are not routinely performed, researchers often seek to determine the specific type of bacteria causing conjunctivitis infections, which may require several laboratory tests. Bacterial virulence plays a significant role, with genetic mutations potentially leading to severe infections of varying severity. Virulence genes encode proteins that express pathogenic properties. The species responsible for conjunctivitis can be definitively identified definitively through microbiological examination, utilizing methods such as the 16S Ribosomal RNA Sequencing (rRNA) technique, known for its accuracy and speed. This study aims to analyze the results of rRNA sequencing in cases of acute bacterial conjunctivitis caused by 16S rRNA genotyping. The research employed an exploratory metholodolot, with the results analyzed using the The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) tracking program database on the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website. The findings revealed that Sphingomonas paucimobilis encoded the 16S rRNA using Universal Primary 27 F and 1492 R, obtained in a sequence size of 1351bp. The isolate demonstrated similarities to Sphingomonas paucimobilis.

Abstract

The concentration of magnesium is determined based on the absorbance of the Mg-Xylydil Blue-I complex solution use spectrophotometer. Based on the Lambert-Beer rule, the calculation of sample concentration is based on the formula A = Ԑ. b. C. Generally, the thickness of the cuvette (b) and the molar absorptivity (Ԑ) factor will be ignored because it is considered to have a fixed value, therefore the sample concentration is measured based on the ratio of the absorbance of the sample against the standard solution. However, the standard solution contains pure magnesium and has a different matrix than the sample matrix, so this condition can give analytical errors and lead to misinterpretation of the results. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy and the precision of serum magnesium calculation by the principle of the Mg- Xylydil Blue-I complex reaction based on molar absorptivity compared to the general method. This research uses comparative study design methods. The serum sample used was the patient's serum specimen who has a normal magnesium level. The results showed that the significance value of the paired t-test statistical was 0.000 (p < 0.05). The accuracy value (d%) of the calculation formula uses Ɛ is 0.00 and the precision value (CV%) is 0.53. While the accuracy value (d%) of the calculation formula without Ɛ is 0.00 and the precision value (CV%) is 0.38. Calculations based on molar absorptivity (Ɛ) can measure more significant serum magnesium than those calculated based on standard magnesium solutions.
