Abstract

The application of tourism health, such as food safety, is an important matter to pay attention to. Based on the annual report (BPOM, 2019), there are 373 cases of food poisoning in Bali, so Bali ranks fourth with the highest cases of food poisoning in Indonesia. The type of research used is observational. This research was conducted by testing samples to determine microbial contamination on pork satay as well as observing and recording food safety scores where pork satay is sold. The design used was cross-sectional because all research subjects were observed at one time. Food safety scores were tested, and TPC, MPN, and E. coli were tested so that 9 samples (56.25%) were categorized as vulnerable to safe consumption. 16 samples of pork satay met the minimum requirements for microbial contamination, ranging from 20/g to 60,000/g. 1 sample of pork satay (6.25%) with the amount of coliform contamination exceeding the standard, namely 438/gr. There were 6 samples of pork satay (37.5%) positive for E. coli. Based on the results of the Kruskal-Wallis test for total microbial contamination based on the food safety score, the results showed that there was a difference in the results of the microbial contamination test and E. coli with a food safety score. Coliform bacteria contamination based on the food safety score showed that there was no difference from the results of the MPN test with the food safety score based on the Asymp.sig value 0.05. Even so, there are still many traders who have not implemented personal hygiene, so it is necessary to carry out food safety training, monitoring, and developing food quality on a regular basis.

Abstract

Background: Caulerpa lentillifera is a species of green algae that has been cultivated widely in Indonesia for its nutritional contents and health benefit. This seaweed builds a strong association with bacterial community which play an important role in synthesizing various secondary metabolites including antibacterial activity. Aims:The research aim to explore the symbiotic relationship between C. lentillifera and its associated bacterial community, focusing on the potential of these bacteria to produce antibacterial metabolites.Methods:Bacterial cultivation was performed on three different media namely nutrient agar, plate count agar, and zobell marine agar. The obtained bacterial isolates were identified morphologically and subsequently were screened for their antibacterial activity based on perpendicular cross streak method against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Streptococcus mutans FNCC 0405, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 700603. Results: 20 out of 28 bacterial isolates inhibited against at least one of the bacterial targets. Bacterial isolate encoded as NAR9 showed as the most promising bacterial isolates with length inhibition of 19 mm against S. mutans FNCC 0405. Amplification of 16S rRNA gene fragment of the NAR9 bacterial isolate followed by Sanger sequencing showed that the isolate NAR9 has been phylogenetically related to Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus. Conclusion: Overall, this research provides a preliminary result of the untapped potential of bacteria associated with C. lentillifera as the source of antibacterial activity.

Abstract

Background: If an alcohol-containing urine sample cannot be analyzed immediately or requires shipping, it should be stored at an appropriate temperature. Pre-analytic is a stage that needs serious attention where at this stage the risk of errors often occurs. Error in storage samples can affect the results of alcohol concentration, so a laboratory technician needs to understand urine sample storage to measure alcohol concentration. Aims: Knowing the best storage of urine temperature in measuring alcohol concentration. Methods: This study used a systematic literature review of urine samples to measure alcohol concentration. The results: The storage temperature on measured urine alcohol concentration was carried out from 1977 – 2023. It can be seen that in some studies regarding storage temperatures in urine using at least 5 temperatures: -20oC, 4oC, 6oC, 14oC, ±20oC. The temperature storage at 4oC can prevent the production of ethanol due to microorganism activity, it will maintain the stability of alcohol concentration in urine. Conclusions: A temperature of 4oC is highly recommended for measuring alcohol concentration in urine samples.

Abstract

Diarrhea is one of the intestinal infection symptoms that can cause poor absorption to loss of nutrition if not treated immediately. Salmonella spp. is 1 of the 4 fundamental global causes of diarrhoeal diseases and antibiotics have been widely used to treat infections caused by this group of bacteria. WHO reported that the antibiotic resistance of Salmonella spp. has increased in past years. For those reasons, efforts have been made to discover new antimicrobial compounds from various sources, including the ethanol extracts of Bama leaves. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the phytochemical compounds (flavonoids, tannins, and phenols) in the ethanol extract of Bama leaves and their inhibitory effect against the bacteria Salmonella typhimurium which causes diarrhea. Design method used is RAL 5 x 4, 5 treatments were concentration of Bama leaf extract 6,25%, 12,5%, 25%, 50% and 75% and 4 replicates for each test. The phytochemical quantitative analysis showed bama leaf extract had 520,99 mgQE flavonoid / 100 gram, 1465,19 mgTAE tannin/100 g and 16531,78 phenol/100 g extract. All contrentration of bama leaf extract could not inhibit the growth of Salmonella thypimurium ATCC 19430.

Abstract

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the diseases that currently threatens public health. One of the biggest triggers for CHD is atherosclerosis or narrowing of the arteries which begins with an inflammatory process. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and High Sensitivity C-reactive Protein (Hs-CRP) are acute phase proteins that will appear when an inflammatory process occurs. This study aims to assess the correlation between ESR and Hs-CRP as a marker of inflammation in CHD patients. The research method used was laboratory observation with a cross sectional design. The results of the normality test using shapiro-wilk show a value of p0.05, which means that the data is normally distributed. The average ESR value was 14.25 mm/hour in the male gender category and 26.45 mm/hour in the female gender category. The results of the Spearman-rho correlation test showed that there was a moderate correlation between LED and Hs-CRP (r=0.564). The conclusion of this study is that there is a correlation between ESR and Hs-CRP values in CHD patients. The conclusion of this study is that there is a correlation between ESR and Hs-CRP values in CHD patients.
