Abstract

Abstract Body odor is one of the personal hygiene problems caused by bacterial activity such as Staphylococcus aureus on sweat. Continuous use of chemical-based deodorants may cause skin irritation; therefore, natural alternatives are needed. This study aims to formulate and evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of a deodorant spray preparation made from citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L.) stem ethanol extract. The extract was obtained using the maceration method with 96% ethanol, followed by phytochemical screening to identify active compounds. The deodorant spray was formulated in three extract concentrations—5%, 10%, and 15%—and evaluated for organoleptic properties, pH, drying time, spray power, and homogeneity. The antibacterial effectiveness test against Staphylococcus aureus was carried out using the disc diffusion method. The results showed that all formulas met the physical evaluation requirements of deodorant preparations. The largest inhibition zone was observed in the formula containing 15% extract, with a diameter of 16.33 mm, categorized as strong inhibitory activity. Therefore, the ethanol extract of Cymbopogon nardus stem has the potential to be used as an active ingredient in natural antibacterial deodorant spray formulations against Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of ethanol extract of cytolod leaves (Isotoma longiflora (L.) C. Presl) formulated in spray deodorant preparations as an antibacterial against Staphylococcus aureus. The extraction of cytolod leaves is carried out by the maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. Spray deodorant preparations are made in three different extract concentrations, namely 3% (F1), 5% (F2), and 8% (F3), with positive control using commercial deodorant (AXE) and negative control in the form of a base preparation without extract. Antibacterial effectiveness testing was carried out using the suction diffusion method. The results of the physical evaluation showed that all formulas met the requirements of organoleptic, pH, clarity, viscosity, drying time, sprayability, and did not cause irritation to the skin. The results of the antibacterial activity test showed that the higher the concentration of the extract, the larger the barrier zone formed. Formulas with a concentration of 8% (F3) show the most effective inhibition activity with an average inhibition zone diameter of 15.73 mm, which belongs to the strong category.

Abstract

Irrational use of antibiotics contributes to the increasing incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Limited public knowledge regarding the indications and proper use of antibiotics leads to inappropriate usage. This study aimed to determine the level of community knowledge before and after educational intervention and to analyze the effect of education on improving knowledge among residents of Dusun III, Sungai Lanang Village. This study employed a pre-experimental one group pretest–posttest design involving 71 respondents selected through purposive sampling from a population of 245 individuals. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test because the data were not normally distributed (p < 0.05). The results showed that prior to the educational intervention, the majority of respondents had poor knowledge (59%), whereas after the intervention, most respondents were categorized as having good knowledge (70%). The Wilcoxon test result showed p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of education on improving knowledge. In conclusion, antibiotic rationalization education is effective in increasing community knowledge and should be implemented continuously to prevent antibiotic misuse.
