Abstract

Indonesia is the most biodiversity country in the world, with a majority Muslim population, so halal issues are a priority. Natural resources are abundant, especially the tropical fruit that Allah SWT bestowed with a wide variety. Red Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims.) is one of the tropical fruits widely consumed because of its delicious taste, rich in vitamins, minerals, and other active ingredients. The research reported that probiotics of Bacillus spp. Isolated from the red passion fruit seeds was proven to inhibit pathogenic microbes. Extended Strain Beta-Lactamase and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The isolates also showed the ability to increase gamma interferon levels in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells in adult TB patients. Halal critical points for products containing probiotics can derive from raw material sources, especially those from animals. The Red passion fruit is classified as a safe, halal category. The process of isolating probiotics from red passion fruit seeds using fermentation technology in De man Rogose Sharp media, using simple materials, tools, and steps that are guaranteed to be halal. The compatibility of two probiotic isolates is the potential to be developed into a probiotic consortium for health supplement preparations and therapeutic complements.

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the Gram-negative rods bacteria that frequently cause nosocomial pneumonia. One of the main virulent effector proteins on Type III secretion system (TTSS) of P. aeruginosa is Exoenzyme U ( ExoU). ExoU works as a phospholipase A2 activity and exhibits lung tissue injury effect in pneumonia. As an antibiotic that has activity against P. aeruginosa, fluoroquinolone resistance has increased as many as three fold since the last decade. Infections caused by P. aeruginosa that are fluoroquinolone resistant and positive for ExoU gene show worse clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to determine the positivity of ExoU gene TTSS and fluoroquinolone resistance of P. aeruginosa that isolated from sputum of nosocomial pneumonia patients in Sanglah Hospital, Bali. P. aeruginosa isolated from sputum of patient that diagnosed as nosocomial pneumonia, isolates had been identified phenotypically by Vitek2 Compact system (bioMérieux, Inc., Marcy-l'Etoile - France), and then continued by genotypic detection by PCR. The susceptibility testing of P. aeruginosa isolates to Ciprofloxacin were conducted by Vitek2 Compact, whereas ExoU genes were detected by PCR. Fifty-three P. aeruginosa isolates were identified in this study, in which 35 isolates (66.1%) had ExoU gene and 22 isolates (41.5%) were resistant to Ciprofloxacin. Based on nosocomial pneumonia type, the highest proportion of isolates genotipically ExoU+ and phenotypically Ciprofloxacin were on VAP group accounted for 57.1% and 54.5%, respectively. Chi-square analysis showed significant correlation between Ciprofloxacin resistance and ExoU gene (p=0.001). As a conclusion, the positivity of ExoU+ isolates were more likely found in Ciprofloxacin resistant group.

Abstract

Highlights: 1. The unexplored soil of mangrove ecosystems in Surabaya, Indonesia, has the potential to be home to biodiversity, including Streptomyces sp. that can produce antibiotics. 2. Streptomyces sp. has antibacterial properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and the duration of incubation plays a critical role in regulating the antibacterial activity. Abstract A mangrove ecosystem in Surabaya, Indonesia, has a high salinity, pH, potassium, phosphorus, and nitrate contents. This ecosystem comprises a mixture of sand, dust, mud, and clay, which has the potential to be a conducive environment for the isolation of Streptomyces. The importance of Streptomyces in biotechnology lies in its ability to produce bioactive secondary metabolites, which represent a valuable reservoir of antibiotics. This research aimed to assess the antibiotic activity exhibited by Streptomyces sp. isolated from the soil of a mangrove ecosystem in Wonorejo, Surabaya, Indonesia. The analysis focused on the potential of Streptomyces sp. to produce antibiotics that work against Gram-positive bacteria (i.e., Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Bacillus subtilis) as well as Gram-negative bacteria (i.e., Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and Salmonella Typhimurium). The antibacterial activity test was conducted using the modified agar diffusion method. Observations were performed to identify any clear zone formation around the Streptomyces sp. agar colonies with a diameter of 0.8 cm and a height of 3 mm. The clear zone diameter was measured every 24 hours during the 10-day incubation period to assess the diversity of antibacterial activity. The antibacterial profile of Streptomyces sp. exhibited varying levels of activity against different bacterial strains in the tests conducted. The inhibition zone diameters demonstrated the highest levels of activity in Bacillus subtilis (15.9 mm) on day 7, Staphylococcus aureus (27.6 mm) on day 2, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (24.3 mm) on day 7, Escherichia coli (29.2 mm) on day 5, and Salmonella Typhimurium (27.5 mm) on day 7. The results indicated that Streptomyces sp. had inhibitory effects against Gram-positive bacteria as well as Gram-negative bacteria. In conclusion, Streptomyces sp. is a source of biodiversity found in the soil of mangrove ecosystems and has the ability to produce antibiotics.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world’s leading infectious diseases and a cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among children. Despite being both preventable and curable, TB affected an estimated 10.6 million people globally in 2023, including 1.3 million children. In Indonesia, the world’s second-highest TB burden country, pediatric TB is often underdiagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms and difficulty in bacteriologic confirmation. This study describes the incidence and trend of pulmonary TB among children aged 0–14 years in East Java, specifically focusing on data from Surabaya, from 2019 to 2024, and evaluates the role of GeneXpert MTB/RIF and GeneXpert Ultra in improving pediatric TB detection. This descriptive cross-sectional study used secondary data from the East Java Provincial Health Office and the National TB Program (SITB). Annual pediatric TB cases and population data were used to calculate incidence (per 100,000 children). GeneXpert test totals were used to compute the Pediatric TCM Intensity Index (cases per 1,000 tests). This study shows that pediatric TB incidence decreased from 59.0 per 100,000 in 2019 to 31.5 in 2020, then rebounded to 133.1 in 2023 and 124.7 in 2024. Molecular diagnostic capacity increased to 274 connected GeneXpert units and > 375,000 tests by 2023, raising bacteriologic confirmation rates among children. Recently, the incidence of pediatric pulmonary TB in East Java has not yet decreased. Strengthening digital reporting systems, pediatric TB training, and field-based surveillance teams is essential for equitable diagnostic access and achieving Indonesia’s End TB 2030 targets.
