Abstract

Bacteria are one of the component parts in every ecosystem. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a normal surface flora of the human body, as a temporary contaminant on inanimate objects such as clothing, cutlery and doorknobs, but also a oportunistic even pathogen on the host. The mutated strain of S. aureus has a cross-resistant strain against all antibiotics of the Beta Lactam, Methicillin, Oxacillin and Flucloxacillin groups, called Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This research is needed because MRSA is a strain of bacteria that can be everywhere, especially in public facilities, such as doorknobs, which can be a place of transmission (transfer) of bacteria from one host to another. The samples in this study were taken by swabbing from the door handle in building X, Jakarta. A total of 62 samples were then cultured on Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) media, the growing isolate was tested by Gram staining, catalase test, and mannitol. Isolate suspected of Staphylococcus aureus, ascertained whether MRSA strain using 30 μg antibiotic C efoxitin (fox) disc. The results of this study showed that 58 (87%) isolates were Staphylococcus aureus and sensitive to C efoxitin antibiotics, 8 (13%) isolates, mnitol test negative, sensitive to Ceroxitin antibiotics. The study concluded that the bacterial isolate found was Staphylococcus aureus sensitive methicillin (MSSA), no MRSA was found.

Abstract

Background Mangosteen is one of the medicinal plants that has long been known in Southeast Asia, with its skin having various of properties, including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. Mangosteen skin in traditional medicine is used to cure various diseases. One of the fungi that can cause skin disease in human is Malassezia furfur, which is a lipophilic fungus and part of the normal skin microflora. Objective: This study aims to determine and prove whether mangosteen skin extract has antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur. Method: This study used an experimental method to test the antifungal activity of mangosteen skin extract. Testing was carried out using the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC), and diffusion methods to measure the inhibitory power against Malassezia furfur at various extract concentrations. Results: The results showed that mangosteen skin extract has antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur. The extract concentration that gave the greatest inhibitory power was 100%, while the lowest concentration that showed inhibitory power was 20%. Conclusion: Mangosteen peel extract has been proven to have antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur, with a concentration of 100% providing the greatest inhibitory effect, while a concentration of 20% still shows an inhibitory effect, but weaker.

Abstract

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is an infection of the urinary tract structure which is generally caused by Escherichia coli with a prevalence of 5-15% with an estimated 180 thousand cases per year in Indonesia, making it the most common disease today. This is further exacerbated by increasing resistance to conventional antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cephalosporins, and fluoroquinolones which makes the selection of UTI therapy increasingly difficult. This study aims to determine the sensitivity of fosfomycin antibiotics to pathogens that cause UTI in adult patients at Hospital X in the period 2023. This study used an observational method, with a retrospective descriptive approach by collecting and analyzing secondary data from the microbiology laboratory of Hospital X. The sampling technique used total sampling with a sample size of 51. Using univariate analysis, it was found that women and the elderly group had a fairly high risk of UTI, with E. coli being the most common etiology (51.8%). Fosfomycin was shown to have a high level of sensitivity (96.55%) to E. coli. Therefore, it can be concluded that fosfomycin has a high level of sensitivity to pathogens that cause UTI infections in adult patients at Hospital X in 2023. This study will be more accurate if the number of samples can be increased again.
