Abstract

Background: Centella asiatica leaves ethanol extract (CALEE) has higher concentration compared to other structures within the plant. The extract contains alkaloids, saponins and flavonoids, which play an active role as antioxidant and antibacterial. Current study aimed to determine the effect of CALEE on Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, and Yersinia enterocolitica, Gram-negative bacteria that cause diarrhea. Materials and methods: Simplicia of C. asiatica leaves was dissolved in 96% ethanol and macerated to get condensed extract, which then produced a concentration of 1 g/mL. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined to assess the effectiveness of CALEE on P. mirabilis, P. vulgaris, and Y. enterocolitica. MIC was determined through serial dilution test with Mueller Hinton broth media. After incubation, the bacteria were streaked on nutrient agar or McConkey agar to determine the MBC. Results: The MIC value of CALEE could not be determined since the color of CALEE was dark, hence the turbidity could not be compared. CALEE had the same MBC value (0.25 g/mL) in all bacteria species used in this study. Conclusion: CALEE is effective against Gram-negative bacteria, such as P. mirabilis, P. vulgaris, and Y. enterocolitica. Further research is needed, especially in vivo experiments and evaluation of the cytotoxicity effect of CALEE. Keywords: Centella asiatica, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Yersinia enterocolitica, antibacterial

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 ofincubation 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

Syphilis, a common sexually transmitted disease, is caused by Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum. Owing to the chameleonic behavior of syphilis, ocular involvement still presents a therapeutic problem. Direct detection of Treponema pallidum in the vitreous offers a potential diagnostic method because serodiagnosis has considerable limitations. The worldwide identification of T. pallidum substypes has occurred since the advent of molecular typing approaches. The purpose of this article is to provide more information on the development of a molecular approach for Treponema pallidum detection. A body of literature was gathered using automated database searches in Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Although prior studies have focused on other genes, such as polA, 16S RNA, and the whole genome, there are still some that use the study of the arp and T. pallidum repeat (tpr) genes to subtype. Whole blood, vaginal ulcers, skin biopsies, and other samples can be used in molecular methods. Comparing quantitative reverse trascription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to traditional methods, such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) assay, and virus isolation, qRT-PCR has the advantage of being faster and more sensitive. Quick molecular methods, particularly polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results, will enable early detection of primary, secondary, and latent syphilis, which will lead to prompt treatment and prevention of disease progression as well as a reduction in the amount of time that the patient's sexual partners are exposed to the illness.

Abstract

Introduction: Preterm and fullterm breast milk has different leukocyte and bioactive concentration, which affect it's bactericidal activity and storage duration. The preterm breast milk potentially has longer storage duration than fullterm breast milk The research and guideline about the acceptable of storage duration of preterm breast milk at 4o C was limited. The objective of this study was to assess the correlation of storage duration of preterm breast milk preterm baby at 4o C temperature on bacterial growth.Methods: The study design was experimental using pre-post control groups design. We used 9 samples of breast milk which met the inclusion criteria divided into 3 groups. The first, second and third groups was storage in 4o C for 0, 24 and 48 hours respectively before the inoculation to the culture media.Results: After the samples were kept at 4o C temperature for 0, 24 and 48 hours, the mean bacterial colony forming unit for each group were 92 (±SD 112), 79 (±SD 97) and 63 (±SD 73) CFU respectively. Compared to the first group, the second and third group has lower bacterial colony forming unit but no significant differences statistically (P= 0.214 and P=1.39 respectively). Likewise there was no significant bacterial colony forming unit between second and third group (P=0.086).Conclusion:  Storage of preterm breast milk in 4o C for 24 and 48 hours show no change in total bacterial colony count (TBCC)..

Abstract

Highlights: Ocimum sanctum leaf extract does not significantly increase its antibacterial effects when combined with meropenem against ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae. Ocimum sanctum leaf extract has different antibacterial effects depending on geological and environmental factors.   Abstract Introduction: Antibiotic usage for bacterial infections causes antibiotic resistance in bacteria. One is extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), which produces Klebsiella pneumoniae, a pathogen responsible for increased antibiotic resistance. Basil (Ocimum sanctum) is a candidate for combination therapy. It has been proven to have antibacterial effects. However, its combination with antibiotics is rarely researched. This study evaluated the antibacterial effects of O. sanctum leaf extract and meropenem combination against ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae. Methods: This study used the disk diffusion method. The extract was tested for each experiment at 6%, 4%, 2%, 1%, and 0.5% concentration. The research was divided into two experiments to evaluate the antibacterial effects of O. sanctum leaf extract (n=18) and its combination with meropenem against ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae (n=18). The data was analyzed using the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0 for Windows. A probability p<0.050 was considered significant. Results: The first experiment showed that the extract had the largest antibacterial effect at 0.5% concentration (n=18, p=0.007). Meanwhile, the second experiment showed that the combination of the extract and meropenem did not have significant antibacterial effects (n=18, p=0.597). Conclusion: Ocimum sanctum leaf extract has viable antibacterial effects, but its combination with Meropenem does not significantly improve its antibacterial effects against Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing K. pneumoniae.
