Abstract

Various efforts to kill pathogenic bacteria in water with safer and more economical disinfectants continue to be pursued. The presence of antibacterial agents in plants can be a promising alternative to natural disinfection. This review discusses the use of natural materials as safer and more economical alternative disinfectants in the water disinfection process. Methods, This is a narrative review using sources from the ProQuest database. The key terms “Extracts AND Plants AND "Natural Compounds" AND "secondary metabolites" AND Antibacterial AND Pathogens AND water AND Escherichia coli” were used. Of the 45 studies found during the search phase, 12 were eligible for inclusion in this review. Results, This study shows that natural Plant Extracts have many uses not only as food ingredients but also as protection against various infectious diseases. Plant extracts as natural ingredients have active antibacterial compounds such as tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins and phenols which are sourced from seeds, flowers, leaves, bark and roots. Active compounds in plants can reduce or even eliminate pathogenic bacteria in water. Conclusion, Natural plant extracts have compounds that can kill pathogenic bacteria in water. Further studies on the use of natural plant extracts need to be carried out as alternative water disinfection materials that are easy to obtain, safe and economical.

Abstract

Background: Diarrheal diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) has been widely recognized as an effective strategy to prevent the transmission of diarrheal diseases in this vulnerable population.Method: This study employed a structured literature review to evaluate the role of CHLB in reducing the incidence of diarrhea among children under five. Articles were sourced from leading peerreviewed journals published between 2018 and 2024, with a focus on CHLB practices including handwashing with soap, access to clean water, proper sanitation, and health education.Result: Findings indicate that consistent implementation of CHLB interventions especially handwashing and the use of proper sanitation facilities can reduce diarrhea risk by up to 47%. The review also identified significant challenges in CHLB adoption, particularly in remote and underdeveloped areas. These challenges include limited infrastructure, low levels of public awareness, and socioeconomic barriers.Conclusion: The promotion and implementation of CHLB significantly contribute to preventing diarrheal diseases among children under five in Indonesia. Sustained support from government sectors, infrastructure investment, and public health education are essential to overcoming existing barriers. A multi-stakeholder approach is critical to reduce the disease burden, improve child health outcomes, and achieve national child survival goals
