Isolasi Antimikroba Baru dari Bakteri Tanah
Antimicrobial resistance has become a problem and a threat to health both in Indonesia and in the world. Resistance is the ability of bacteria to neutralize and weaken the action of antibiotics. The aim of this study was to isolate a novel antimicrobial from soil bacteria. The method used in this research is exploratory. The test bacteria used were Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results showed that there were two isolates that had zones of inhibition against the test bacteria staphylococcus aureus, namely isolates T2.2 and T2.18. The results of the first antimicrobial test for isolate T2.2 showed that the inhibition zone formed was 14.05 mm and isolates T2.18 the inhibition zone formed was 11.96 mm. The results of the second antimicrobial test were carried out by treating the unheated T2.2 isolate which showed an inhibition zone formed of 15.53 mm and the heated one 15.46 mm, while the unheated T2.18 isolate showed an average inhibition zone of 12.46 mm and heated 12.21 mm. The conclusion of this study is that the inhibition zone formed on isolates T2.2 and T2.18 is still relatively small and both isolates are spesies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern in Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and causes of nosocomial infections in hospitals. Due to high antibiotic resistance and the ability to develop new resistance during antibiotic treatment, Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is difficult to eradicate because the physical treatment becomes difficult and ineffective. This study was conducted to evaluate the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains at two different hospital in Makassar. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study from March to May 2021. The research samples were taken from the results of culture and antibiotic sensitivity tests conducted at two different hospital, Hasanuddin University Hospital and Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital for the period January 1 to September 30, 2019. A total of 84 samples were cultured and tested for antibiotic sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results: Antibiotic sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was best with aminoglycoside antibiotics, gentamicin (100%) at Hasanuddin University Hospital and amikacin (95.8%) at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital. At Hasanuddin University Hospital followed by antibiotics amikacin (92.3%) and meropenem (84.6%). At Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Pseudomonas aeruginosa also showed good sensitivity to gentamicin (91.5%) and meropenem (77.5%). The sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was lowest to piperacillin/tazobactam. Conclusions: This study shows that the level of effectiveness of the antibiotics meropenem, amikacin and gentamicin is high enough and it can be used as a treatment option in Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. This study can help as a reference to prevent mortality and morbidity associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection

Molecular Detection of VEB and OXA-23 Resistance Gene in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolates at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common gram-negative pathogen in nosocomial infections in immune-compromised patients. It exhibits high rates of intrinsic resistance to many classes of antibiotics, especially beta-lactam antibiotics. Production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and genes belonging to the carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D subgroup β-lactamases (CHDL) are a problem for increasing antibiotic resistance worldwide. This study aimed to identify P. aeruginosa containing the VEB and OXA-23 genes. Eighty-five clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa from various clinical samples were identified and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using VITEK 2 compact. VEB and OXA-23 genes were detected using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. The PCR results revealed that 13 (15.3%) of P. aeruginosa isolates were positive OXA-23 gene, but no isolate positive for the VEB gene in P. aeruginosa isolates. The study results demonstrated the spread of the OXA-23 gene in P. aeruginosa isolates at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar

Optimizing Mist-Based Ablution: A Comprehensive Study of Water Distribution and Conservation Using Watercolour Visualization and Thermal Imaging Techniques
Conducting ablution constitutes a prerequisite for Muslims prior to engaging in prayer. This ritualistic practice involves the cleansing and wiping of specific body parts, including the hands, face, arms up to the elbows, head, and feet. Ensuring comprehensive water coverage of the aforementioned areas is a crucial criterion during ablution. However, excessive water consumption often occurs when Muslims perform ablution to achieve full coverage. Consequently, a more ecologically sustainable approach to ablution is necessary to minimize water wastage. A proposed water mist spray device aims to optimize water usage while adhering to the Islamic jurisprudence requirements of complete water coverage on ablution parts. To assess water coverage using the mist spray, an evenness distribution profile is employed through atomized mist colorization on paper and thermal imaging of ablution parts. An appropriate spray nozzle is chosen based on an analysis of spray distribution and coverage patterns on the target surface, utilizing image processing techniques. The proposed methodology involves mixing water with red watercolour and manually pumping it through the selected nozzle using an off-the-shelf water sprayer, thereby atomizing the coloured water to stain white paper. Subsequently, the paper is converted into a digital image and analysed using ImageJ software to determine the mist spray coverage percentage, spatial spread at various distances, and the extraction of stain and droplet sizes. This technique is applied to different types and sizes of spray nozzles to identify the most suitable nozzle for the prototype. The findings demonstrate that nozzles with smaller exit holes and higher water pressure yield more extensive spray coverage on the target surface. Upon selecting the appropriate nozzle, a Portable Ablution Mist Spray Device prototype is employed to evaluate water coverage for the ablution body parts. Thermal images of the ablution parts are captured before and after the ritual, with the temperature differences being analysed. The thermal images reveal a comprehensive and uniform spray distribution on the ablution body parts, accompanied by a temperature difference ranging from 0.9°C to 3.8°C among various participants
