Abstract

Introduction: MRSA is an antibacterial resistance problem that requires serious treatment. The limitations of antibacterials make it difficult to treat infections. The development of alternative antibacterial is needed. Objectives: This study shows the antibacterial effect of ethanol extract of Plumeria rubra L. flowers against MRSA bacteria. Methods: This research is a true experimental research with the only post-test control group design. The Kirby-Bauer test method was used to evaluate the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of Plumeria rubra L. flowers with concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 60% in triplicate. The test bacteria used MRSA ATCC 33591 bacteria. Antibacterial activity was assessed from the diameter of the inhibition zone formed in bacterial cultures on agar media. Results: The inhibition zone were not formed after ethanolic extract of Plumeria rubra L. flowers at various concentrations. These were not antibacterial activity shown from Plumeria rubra L. flowers extract at concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 60%. Conclusions: The ethanolic extract of Plumeria rubra L. flowers does not show antibacterial activity against MRSA bacteria. Keywords: Red frangipani flowers (Plumeria rubra L.), antibacterial activity, MRSA.

Abstract

Elderly COVID-19 patients have been associated with worse outcomes and have been presented with the highest mortality rate. However, studies on the clinical features and the differences between critical and non-critical elderly COVID-19 patients in Indonesia and even other countries are still lacking and rare. In this retrospective study, the epidemiological and clinical features of critical and non-critical elderly COVID-19 patients admitted to Udayana University Academic Hospital between April 2020 and March 2021 were analyzed and then compared. Of the 280 medical records analyzed, 60.7% were male and the median age was 65.0 years old. Based on the medical records, 18.2% of elderly patients met our criteria of critical patients. The most common symptoms presented in both category upon admission included fever and coughing. The most common comorbidity found in critical patients was heart disease and hypertension in non-critical patients. Laboratory results differences included leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, platelets, SGOT, SGPT, and urea. Only 9.9% of critical patients and 6.1% of non-critical patients were given antiviral therapy. In contrast, 68.6% of critical patients and 76% of non-critical patients were given antibiotics. The mortality rate in critical patients was 70.6% and 0.4% in non-critical patients. Based on the results, a multimodal approach in the treatment of elderly COVID-19 patients is very essential. The higher mortality rate in elderly patients should be able to be reduced by giving early and timely antiviral therapy with the addition of effective choice of drugs.

Abstract

In search for potential alternatives to RT-PCR, Gadjah Mada University developed GeNose C19 which was deemed to have high sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV. The objective of this study is to contribute to the development of GeNose C19 by means of external validation conducted in Udayana University Academic Hospital, Bali. This was a cross-sectional study conducted on adults above 17 years old. Demographic variables, symptoms, vaccination status, GeNose C19 results, and RT-PCR results were measured. We analyzed the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV using respective appropriate formulas and the impact of other variables gathered towards accuracy by means of Chi-squared test, Mann-Whitney U test and independent-samples T test. The results showed that the subjects included in this study were 50.8% female and had a mean (IQR) age of 23.0 (21.0-27.5) years old. Only three subjects (2.5%) showed COVID-19-related symptoms such as cough (1.7%), flu (0.8%), fever (0.8%), and headache (0.8%). GeNose C19 yields a sensitivity of 83.1%, a specificity of 73.6%, PPV of 79.4%, and NPV of 78.0%. There were no variables that significantly affect the accuracy of GeNose C19. Further study is still required to validate GeNose C19’s performance in different environmental conditions and multiple different races.
