Abstract

Highlights: 1.Due to the adverse effects associated with current antifungal drugs, research on traditional medicine is necessary to explore other options for candidiasis treatment. 2.Following the findings of this study, it is recommended to conduct further research by incorporating Coleus scuttellarioides filtrate into the growth medium, since this may improve bacterial growth by producing optimal secondary metabolites. Abstract Candida albicans is the most common organism responsible for both mucosal and systemic infections, accounting for approximately 70% of fungal infections worldwide. Miana, scientifically known as Coleus scuttellarioides (L.) Benth., is recognized for its use in traditional medicinal practices. Miana plants contain endophytic bacteria that possess the ability to produce secondary metabolites with potential antifungal agents. The objective of this study was to assess the antifungal activity of nine endophytic bacteria isolates derived from Coleus scuttellarioides against Candida albicans. This study was laboratory-based qualitative experimental research that applied the Kirby-Bauer diffusion method and several modifications. The Candida albicans specimens were spread throughout the entire potato dextrose agar medium. Afterwards, paper discs that had been soaked in a liquid culture of endophytic bacterial isolates were carefully placed on the surface of the medium. The complete setup was then incubated for 1–2 days. The potential antifungal activity of endophytic bacteria was assessed by observing the emergence of a clear zone surrounding their growth, which would indicate inhibition. An additional observation was performed in the follow-up test, involving the use of Sabouraud dextrose agar medium to confirm the initial test result. The results from the inhibitory test revealed that none of the bacterial isolates exhibited any inhibition zone. Conversely, ketoconazole as the positive control showed an inhibition zone with an average diameter of 28.5 mm. In conclusion, endophytic bacterial isolates obtained from Coleus scuttellarioides have no discernible antifungal properties against Candida albicans. This study implies that ketoconazole remains effective in treating infections caused by Candida albicans.

Abstract

Maluku Province in Indonesia is known for its diverse traditional foods, including sagu lempeng, which is widely consumed across different social groups. However, poor hygiene during its preparation, packaging, and sale in traditional markets can serve as a medium for microbial contamination, posing potential health risks. In Ambon City, the capital of Maluku, no research had been conducted concerning the total plate count (TPC) analysis and identification of food-contaminating bacteria in sagu lempeng, which are crucial for ensuring its microbiological safety. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the microbiological quality of sagu lempeng according to Indonesian National Standards (INS 7388:2009) and to identify any presence of food-contaminating bacteria. This research employed a quantitative descriptive methodology with a true experimental laboratory approach. The samples used were sagu lempeng collected from three traditional markets in Ambon, Indonesia. The TPC analysis was conducted to estimate the number of bacterial colonies per gram of samples, while Gram staining and biochemical testing were carried out for macroscopic and microscopic bacterial identification. The results showed that the highest TPC was found in sagu lempeng from Waiheru Market at 8.1 × 105 CFU/g, while the lowest was from Mardika Market at 5.95 × 103 CFU/g. The identified bacteria included Klebsiella pneumoniae ssp. and Staphylococcus arlettae. Although bacterial contamination was detected, the TPC of sagu lempeng from all sampled markets remained under the maximum allowable limit set by Indonesian National Standards (1 × 106 CFU/g). In conclusion, sagu lempeng sold in traditional markets around Ambon complies with microbiological safety standards and is considered safe for consumption.

Abstract

Highlights: 1. This research provides important information regarding the food safety of smoked tatihu (yellowfin tuna) sold in several traditional markets in Ambon, Indonesia. 2. We find that smoked tatihu fish samples examined at 2 of 3 traditional markets in Ambon city are unsafe for consumption according to the Indonesian National Standard due to bacterial contamination. 3. The findings indicate that smoked fish can be contaminated by Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus gallinarum, Staphylococcus sciuri, Rothia kristinae, and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. Abstract The large marine area and abundant fish resources of Maluku Province, Indonesia, are in contrast to the poor hygiene of its traditional markets, which can cause microbial contamination and taint processed products, such as smoked tatihu (yellowfin tuna). In Ambon city, Maluku, Indonesia, no research had been conducted concerning total plate count analysis and food-contaminating bacterial identification that could guarantee the microbiological safety of smoked tatihu. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the microbiological quality of smoked tatihu according to Indonesian National Standards (INS 2725:2013) and to identify any presence of food-contaminating bacteria. This research was a quantitative descriptive study with a true experimental laboratory approach. The samples used were smoked tatihu collected from three traditional markets in Ambon, Indonesia. The spread plate method was used in the isolation process, while the total plate count analysis was performed to estimate the quantity of colonies on each petri dish. Bacterial identification was carried out macroscopically and microscopically. The microscopic identification involved Gram staining to determine the shape and color of the bacteria. Additionally, the bioMérieux VITEK 2 Compact system was utilized for biochemical identification to ascertain the species of bacteria present. The results revealed that the colony counts in smoked tatihu from the Mardika market and Hative Kecil market were 1.1 x 104 CFU/g and 8.2 x 106 CFU/g, respectively. However, smoked tatihu from the Batu Meja market had an excessive number of colonies that were difficult to quantify. The contaminating bacteria were identified as Staphylococcus gallinarum, Staphylococcus sciuri, Rothia kristinae, and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. In conclusion, smoked tatihu fish from the Mardika market are considered safe for consumption as the microbiological parameters do not exceed the Indonesian National Standards, whereas those obtained from the Hative Kecil and Batu Meja markets are unsafe for consumption due to the excessive presence of food-contaminating bacteria.

Abstract

Enbal is a traditional food from Maluku, originally from the Kei Islands, made from bitter cassava (Manihot esculenta). This processed food product holds significant historical and cultural value. However, enbal can become a source of illness if not prepared properly, leading to contamination and an increased risk of foodborne diseases. This study aimed to determine the microbiological quality through total plate count (TPC) analysis and bacterial identification of enbal at several traditional markets in Ambon City. It was a descriptive observational study with a true experimental laboratory approach. The TPC results for enbal food samples from Mardika market ranged from 14.5 × 102 CFU/g to 4.85 × 104 CFU/g, Waiheru market ranged from 8.3 × 102 CFU/g to 3.2 × 105 CFU/g, Batu Merah market ranged from 11.0 × 104 to 3.0 × 105 CFU/g, and Passo market ranged from 2.4 × 102 CFU/g to 3.75 × 105 CFU/g. The results of bacterial species identification from the four enbal food samples revealed Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus haemolyticus. Thus, it can be concluded that the four enbal samples examined are safe for consumption as they do not exceed the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 01-2997-1996, which is 1 x 106 CFU/g.

Abstract

Antibacterial resistance remains a global health concern, prompting exploration of natural plant-based alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the active fraction from Paederia foetida Linn. leaves against six infectious pathogenic bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi, Cutibacterium acnes, and Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). Kirby-Bauer disk-diffusion method was used to measure inhibition zones and the broth dilution method to determine Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). Results showed that the active fraction exhibited variable antibacterial activity, with the highest inhibition zones recorded against E. coli (6.5 mm), B. subtilis (6.0 mm), and S. dysenteriae (5.0 mm) at 100% concentration. The MIC values ranged from 125 µg/mL (for B. subtilis) to 500 µg/mL (for S. aureus and C. acnes), while MBC values ranged from 250 µg/mL to 1000 µg/mL, confirming bacteriostatic to mild bactericidal effects, particularly toward B. subtilis and E. coli. Compared to the crude extract we reported previously, the fraction displayed lower inhibitory activity, suggesting that the antibacterial effect of P. foetida may rely on synergistic interactions among multiple secondary metabolites present in the whole extract. These findings indicate that the active fraction of P. foetida leaves possesses potential antibacterial properties, suggesting that further studies should focus on exploring synergistic effects among fractions and confirming antibacterial efficacy through in vivo evaluation.
