Abstract

Chocolate has long been understood to provide positive emotions and a good mood if consumed in moderation. Chocolate contains prebiotics naturally from its constituent ingredients produced during the production process. Prebiotics, frequently oligosaccharides, are substances which cannot be metabolized by the human digestive system but can be employed by a group of bacteria in the gut, understood as probiotics. The positive relationship among them provides benefits for the host in eliminating pathogens. One of the well-known pathogens which frequently cause infection either in the community or in hospitals is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Since it was first identified in 1960, MRSA has caused health problems until today. Research conducted on two groups of Rattus norvegicus infected with MRSA and then fed chocolate revealed a decrease in the average number of bacterial colonies on the skin compared to the control group. In the group fed chocolate at a dose of 50 mg/day, the bacterial colonies decreased to 1.28 x 108 CFU/cm2 in 7 days, lower than in the control group (1.46 x 108 CFU/cm2) at the same time. While those fed 75 mg/day chocolate decreased to 2.70 x 107 CFU/cm2 and the three groups were significantly different (0.000<0.05). Prebiotics fermented by probiotics release short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), which compete with the pathogens for attaching to the epithelial wall so that pathogens lose space and nutrients to survive. However, the adverse effect of chocolate may occur because it contains sugar which is a nutrient for bacteria, but if the balance of normal flora and adequate intake of prebiotics are administered, the pathogen could be eliminated.

Abstract

Cream deodorant is a topical preparation used to reduce body odor caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in sweat glands. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a cream deodorant preparation containing a combination of green betel leaf and cinnamon bark at concentration of 10%, 20%, and 30%  on inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Synthetic deodorants containing alumunium chloralhydrate have the potential to cause negative side effects, including cancer risk. Essential oils from green betel leaf and cinnamon bark contain antibacterial compounds such as betephenol and cinnamaldehyde, which work synergistically as active ingredients. This study used a purposive sampling technique and the well diffusion method on MHA medium. 10 replications were conducted, resulting in 30 samples. The results showed that the inhibition zone at a concentration of 10% is on average 13,4 mm (strong), at a concentration of 20%, it is on average 20.5 mm (very strong) and at a concentration of 30%, it is on average 23,5 mm (very strong). The results of a simple linear regression statistical test showed a significance value (p=0.000 → p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of concentration on inhibitory power. This study concludes that the cream deodorant preparation containing the combination of green betel leaf and cinnamon bark distillate was effective in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus, with the highest inhibition zone at a concentration of 30%. This combination has the potential to be developed as a safe, natural antibacterial deodorant ingredient.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus can lead to complications such as ulcers that are highly susceptible to bacterial infection. Escherichia coli is one of the pathogenic bacteria commonly found in diabetic foot ulcers. Accurate detection of E. coli species is essential to support appropriate infection management, and one of the reliable methods is Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) targeting the 16S rRNA gene. This study employed a descriptive design with an accidental sampling technique. Samples were obtained from swab specimens of diabetic foot ulcer patients. The procedures included culture on Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar, Gram staining, bacterial DNA isolation, PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA gene, electrophoresis for visualization of PCR products, and sequencing for species confirmation. Based on the results of the study involving 30 diabetic foot ulcer patients at Kanazawa Clinic Pontianak, culture analysis showed that 4 isolates were positive for Escherichia coli. Gram staining further confirmed the presence of E. coli by demonstrating its characteristic morphology. The PCR results visualized through electrophoresis showed that 4 samples (13.3%) were positive for Escherichia coli based on the 16S rRNA gene, indicated by the presence of DNA bands at approximately 1500 bp. Sequencing analysis further confirmed the isolates as Escherichia coli with 99% similarity.

Abstract

Aloe vera (AV) and chocolate are good examples of functional foods because they contain prebiotics that can help the host defend itself against harmful bacterial infections such as Staphylococcus aureus. Many studies have used AV or chocolate alone to help fight infection, but not much is known about using both together. This study aims to count the number of colonies of S. aureus infected on mice’s skin (Mus musculus) after being given AV and cocoa in certain doses per kilogram of body weight. A total of 35 healthy male mice were infected with S. aureus in the superficial area of ​​the nape of the skin. After that, they were divided into seven groups, each consisting of 5 mice, and given the following treatments: given 50 mg/kg BW AV (group A), 50 mg/kg BW brown (B), 50 mg/kg BW combination of AV and chocolate (C), given 75 mg/kg BW AV (D), given 75 mg/kg BW brown (E), given 75 mg/kg BW combination of AV and chocolate (F), and control (without prebiotic administration), K). Mice that were given 75 mg/kg BW AV/chocolate/AV+chocolate had a better ability to reduce the number of bacteria than those that were given 50 mg/kg BW AV/chocolate/AV+chocolate. In addition, rats that were given AV and chocolate together had a better ability to reduce the number of bacteria than those that were given either only AV or chocolate alone. Prebiotics are both found in AV and chocolate but with different substances. This causes mice given a combination of prebiotics to be considered better than those given only one type of prebiotic source.
