Abstract

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection characterized by a urine culture showing bacteriuria with bacterial counts exceeding 100,000 per milliliter of urine. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a method that utilizes in-vitro enzymatic reactions to amplify specific DNA targets. This process synthesizes new DNA strands complementary to the target sequences using enzymes and oligonucleotide primers within a thermocycler. The fimH gene is among the most important of the UPEC strains and is associated with severe urinary tract infections. The aim of this study was to identify the presence of the fimH gene in urine samples from UTI patients at the Puskesmas Banyuanyar in Surakarta using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The research employed the Quota Sampling Technique, collecting a total of five urine samples from individuals diagnosed with urinary tract infections. The results of the control isolates using pure Escherichia coli isolates showed that the fimH gene PCR amplified control with annealing temperature of 52°C. The analysis of clinical isolates of Escherichia coli from the urine of urinary tract infection patients revealed that the fimH gene was PCR amplified in all five samples.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium responsible for various infections, showing strong resistance to β-lactam antibiotics due to the mecA gene, which encodes Penicillin-Binding Protein 2A (PBP2A). This resistance contributes to the emergence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), posing significant challenges in clinical settings. Detecting the mecA gene is crucial for identifying MRSA and guiding appropriate treatments. This study aimed to detect the mecA gene in clinical pus samples from patients with MRSA infections in hospitals in Surakarta. A qualitative descriptive design was used. DNA was isolated from 12 clinical pus samples, and the mecA gene was detected using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Gel electrophoresis visualized the amplified DNA bands, and results were analyzed based on comparison with positive and negative controls and a DNA ladder. The results showed positive amplification of the mecA gene in all clinical samples, with clear DNA bands at 571 base pairs. One sample (SP1) and the positive control exhibited weaker bands, but the presence of the mecA gene was confirmed in all cases. The study concluded that all clinical samples were positive for the mecA gene, indicating the presence of MRSA. PCR proved to be an effective tool for detecting the mecA gene in clinical samples and is valuable for identifying MRSA in healthcare settings.

Abstract

Candida albicans is the most dominant Candida species found in the oral cavity, this fungus will turn into a pathogen if there is excessive growth on the oral mucosa which is usually called oral candidiasis. Elderly people with diabetes mellitus have a higher vulnerability due to a weakened immune system that supports the colonization of pathogenic microorganisms. Low pH conditions in saliva can facilitate the growth of Candida albicans fungi, thereby causing pathogenic microorganisms to multiply more rapidly. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between salivary acid pH and the growth of Candida albicans fungi in elderly people with diabetes mellitus. The study used an analytical observational design, the sample used in this study were 24 elderly patient respondents with diabetes mellitus. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between salivary acid pH and the growth of Candida albicans fungi in elderly people with diabetes mellitus, which indicates that salivary pH can affect fungal colonization in the oral cavity. Acidic salivary pH conditions have the potential to significantly increase the number of Candida albicans colonies, thereby increasing the risk of oral candidiasis in people with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Candidiasis is an opportunistic fungal infection that frequently affects the skin, particularly among individuals with suboptimal personal hygiene and those living in humid environments. One natural substance that has the potential to inhibit the growth of Candida albicans is Aloe vera, which contains saponin and lupeol with antifungal activity through the mechanism of disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity. Based on this background, a community service program was conducted to enhance the knowledge and skills of residents in utilizing Aloe vera as a natural ingredient for the prevention of candidiasis. The activity took place in Bentakan Village, Baki District, Sukoharjo Regency, involving 18 women of productive age as participants. The method included a pre-test, interactive lecture, demonstration of Aloe vera soap production, post-test, and evaluation. The average pre-test score of 54.44 increased to 77.77 in the post-test, with the Wilcoxon test showing p < 0.05. This finding indicates a significant improvement in participants’ understanding of candidiasis prevention and promotes positive changes in personal hygiene behavior. The sustainability of this program is expected to be supported through follow-up training and the establishment of community empowerment groups as small-scale producers of herbal soap with economic value.

Abstract

Active smoker is anyone who directly smokes cigarettes from a burning cigarette. The oral mucosa is the part that can be damaged by smoking. Candida infections usually develop on mucous membranes such as the mouth and are responsible for the appearance of disorders such as candidiasis in the oral cavity.Which has the potential to become fungal. Candida is a species that is often found in the oral cavity. This research aims to determine the presence of Candida.sp fungus in the oral cavity in Petoran village RT 02/RW09 Jebres Surakarta. This research was carried out in November 2023 - June 2024 using descriptive observational research with kuota sampling and 20 samples were taken of the Population of active smokers in Petoran village RT 02/09 Jeberas Surakarta. Samples were taken using the oral mucosa swab method, then cultured on PDA media and observed macroscopically and microscopically with an objective lens magnification of 40x. The data in this study were analyzed using a distribution approach to examine the spread of Candida sp. fungal infections among active smokers in Kampung Petoran. Out of the 20 samples collected, the identification results showed that 14 samples, or 70%, were infected with Candida sp., while the remaining 6 samples, or 30%, tested negative. This distribution of infections indicates that the majority of active smokers in the village were exposed to Candida sp. This analysis provides an initial overview of the prevalence of Candida sp. fungus among active smokers in the area.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that not only affects systemic organs but also influences oral health by increasing susceptibility to opportunistic infections such as oral candidiasis caused by Candida albicans. This condition is more pronounced among the elderly, whose immune functions naturally decline with age. This study aimed to compare the number of Candida albicans colonies in the saliva of elderly individuals with and without diabetes mellitus. An observational analytic study with a comparative cross-sectional design was conducted involving 32 elderly participants, consisting of 16 individuals with diabetes and 16 without. Saliva samples were collected using the passive drooling technique and cultured on CHROMagar-Candida medium for 48 hours at 37°C. The colony counts were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk, Levene, and Mann-Whitney U tests. The results showed that the elderly with diabetes mellitus had a significantly higher number of Candida albicans colonies compared to those without diabetes (p < 0.05). Diabetes mellitus increases the colonization of Candida albicans in the oral cavity of the elderly, likely due to hyperglycemia and age-related immune decline. Maintaining stable blood glucose levels and practicing good oral hygiene are essential preventive measures to reduce the risk of opportunistic fungal infections in this population.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a global health problem with a high prevalence in the elderly and is associated with an increased risk of opportunistic infections. One of the common accompanying conditions is glucosuria, caused by elevated urinary glucose excretion, which may promote the growth of Candida albicans. This study aimed to examine the relationship between urinary glucosuria and the number of Candida albicans colonies in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus at Griya Sehat Colomadu Clinic. Urine samples were tested for glucosuria using the dipstick method, while urine cultures were performed on CHROMagar Candida medium to identify and quantify Candida albicans colonies. Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Most respondents were negative for glucosuria (57,14%), while the remainder were positive with varying degrees. The colony counts of Candida albicansranged from 0 to 319.000 CFU/mL, with median counts increasing alongside the degree of glucosuria. Statistical analysis revealed a strong and significant positive correlation between glucosuria and Candida albicans colony counts (r = 0,700; p < 0.01). Higher levels of glucosuria are associated with increased Candida albicans colony counts in the urine of elderly patients with diabetes mellitus. These findings highlight the importance of controlling blood glucose levels and routinely monitoring urine cultures to prevent opportunistic fungal infections in elderly diabetic patients.

Abstract

The liver is an organ that has an important role in metabolic and detoxification processes. Alcohol consumption will cause metabolic disorders in the liver and can cause changes in histological structures. Interleukin-6 has a profound role in liver pathology and plays an important role in the body's defense mechanism, and contributes to the manifestation of tissue damage. This study was an experimental study using 20 Rattus norvegicus treated with 25% alcohol, and a normal treatment only given distilled water. Histological observations were carried out on each preparation in 5 fields of view. The hepatotoxicity effect of alcohol was observed based on the presence of cell degeneration and necrosis in histological preparations stained with hematoxylin eosin. IL-6 detection with polymerase chain reaction was analyzed qualitatively using electrophoresis. Based on the statistical test results, the sig. (2 tailed) of 0.00 < 0.05 so that it can be seen that there is a significant difference in histological results between the normal control group without treatment and the group induced by alcohol. The administration of alcoholic beverages with 25% ethanol content in vivo for 21 days causes necrosis and bleeding around the hepatocyte cells. IL-6 overview appeared to be stronger in the group with alcohol-induced drinking, it could indicate that giving alcohol causes a higher inflammatory response. This study provides scientific evidence that alcohol consumption significantly damages the liver. Further research can be conducted to increase the sample size and quantitatively assess IL-6 expression.
