Abstract

Medicinal plants and their endophytes are a source of valuable bioactive compounds and their secondary metabolites which contribute to more than 80% of natural medicines available in the market. A plant that has long been used as a traditional medicinal herb for healing is the Kayu Jawa (Lannea coromandelica (Houtt) Merr). This study aimed to characterization and identification of endophytic bacterial isolates isolated from medicinal plants Kayu Jawa (L. coromandelica (Houtt.) Merr). This research is a laboratory experimental research. In total, 8 isolates were selected as representatives of the bacterial community living in the tissues of Kayu Jawa (L. coromandelica (Houtt.) Merr). The microscopic observation was performed by Gram staining. Biochemical identification was conducted using Vitek 2. The results showed that Bacillus was the dominant genus in this study followed by Staphylococcus and Pantoea. Based on the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the endophytic bacteria isolated from Kayu Jawa Lannea coromandelica (Houtt) Merr, six isolates belonging to Bacillus and another two belonging to Staphylococcus and Pantoea genera. However, for the exploration of this prospective application, it is very important to do a systematic study of the biological and distribution of endophytic bacteria in the host.

Abstract

Di Indonesia, diperkirakan diare menyebabkan 10-24 kematian per 100.000 orang pada tahun 2016, sementara puncak kematian terjadi pada orang dewasa yang berusia di atas 70 tahun, dengan 200-299 kematian per 100.000 orang. Berdasarkan observasi, survei,  dan pengambilan data profil kesehatan yang telah dilakukan pada penduduk Negeri Laha tentang  riwayat  penyakit  yang pernah  dialami  oleh  masyarakat  Negeri  Laha, ditemukan bahwa  sebanyak  198  orang  pernah  mengalami  Diare. Kegiatan pengabdian berupa penyuluhan dengan metode ceramah dikombinasikan dengan sesi tanya jawab serta dilengkapi dengan pengisian kuesioner pre post diakhiri dengan pembagian leaflet tentang diare. Sasaran kegiatan adalah siswa Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) LKMD Laha.

Abstract

Background: Snack food is typically prepared and served in open spaces, such as in food courts or by the roadside, which makes it highly susceptible to bacterial contamination. If consumed in certain amounts, these bacteria can cause foodborne illnesses (foodborne diseases).Objective: This study aims to assess the quality of food sold at the Pujasera Canteen of Pattimura University, Ambon, based on microbiological parameters by calculating the Total Plate Count (TPC).Method: This research is a descriptive quantitative study with an observational approach. The samples used consisted of five types of snack foods: noodle with meatballs, egg noodles, chicken rice, fried tubers, and fried rice, which were randomly sampled from sales stands. The study was conducted in May 2024 at the Microbiology Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Pattimura University. Statistical analysis was carried out by calculating the total colonies using the formula TPC (Total Plate Count).Results: The results showed the TPC values for sample A at 1 × 10^6 colonies/g, sample B at 2,5 × 10^7 colonies/g, sample C at 1,2 × 10^7 colonies/g, sample D at 7,3 × 10^7 colonies/g, and sample E at 4,6 × 10^4 colonies/g. Based on these values, four out of the five samples did not meet the criteria set by BPOM (Indonesia’s National Agency of Drug and Food Control), referring to SNI 7388:2009, as they exceeded the maximum microbial contamination limit of <1 × 10^5 colonies/g. Only one sample met the criteria.Conclusion: Four out of the five samples were categorized as having poor quality, as the microbial count exceeded the maximum contamination limit set by SNI.

Abstract

Candidiasis is an opportunistic mycotic infection with a high prevalence, caused by Candida species, especially Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, and Candida parapsilosis. The increasing resistance of Candida spp. to conventional antifungals such as fluconazole poses a challenge in the management of candidiasis, thus the need for natural-based alternatives, such as Lada Katokkon. This condition encourages the need to explore alternative therapeutic agents based on natural ingredients. Lada Katokkon (Capsicum annuum chinense Jacq), a local chili variety cultivated in the Toraja region, is known to contain secondary metabolite compounds such as capsaicin, flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids that have potential as antifungals. This study aims to evaluate the antifungal activity of ethanol extract of Lada Katokkon against the growth of C. albicans, C. tropicalis, and C. parapsilosis in vitro using disc diffusion method. The extract was tested at five concentrations: 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9%. There was a positive relationship between extract concentration and inhibition zone diameter. The highest activity was recorded at 9% concentration, particularly against C. parapsilosis (16.89 ± 4.74 mm), followed by C. albicans (9.03 ± 5.96 mm) and C. tropicalis (8.07 ± 0.81 mm). In contrast, 1% concentration produced the lowest zone of inhibition in all species tested. These results suggest that ethanol extract of Lada Katokkon has potential as an alternative natural antifungal agent in candidiasis therapy.

Abstract

Background: All parts of the cashew tree Anacardium occidentale L. (especially the leaves and bark) have been widely used as traditional herbal medicines, and are used throughout the world. Thus, in recent decades, the traditional medicinal properties of the Anacardium plant, and its various biological effects are being studied extensively. Purposes: This study aimed to conduct a preliminary study of the antibacterial properties and phytochemical screening of the ethanol extract of cashew leaves. Methods: The antibacterial test of was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disc paper diffusion method. Qualitative test of phytochemical content was carried out using chemical reagents. Results: The results indicated that the ethanol extract of cashew leaves has an inhibitory effect on the growth of Escherichia coli. The smallest inhibition zone was found in the extract with a concentration of 10% of 5.75 mm and the largest was found at a concentration of 100% with a diameter of 14 mm. The phytochemical screening revealed that extracts contained; alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, phenolics, saponins, and tanins Conclusions: The ethanol extract of cashew leaves was able to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli test bacteria at all concentration variations. Phytochemical screening also found that the ethanol extract of cashew leaves contains alkaloids, flavonoids, steroid terpenoids, phenolics, saponins, and tannins which are known to have antibacterial properties.
