Judul: Identification and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test of Gram-Positive Catalase-Negative Cocci in Horses (Equus caballus)
Abstrak: Kasus resistansi mikroba terhadap antimikroba sudah banyak terjadi di dunia salah satunya pada kuda. Bakteri coccus Gram positif katalase negatif dapat menjadi bakteri patogen yang menyerang saluran pencernaan kuda. Belum ada penelitian mengenai resistansi bakteri coccus Gram positif katalase negatif pada kuda di Indonesia terhadap berbagai jenis antibiotik. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi bakteri coccus Gram positif katalase negatif dan menguji kepekaannya terhadap 6 jenis antibiotik dengan metode difusi cakram. Data hasil penelitian dianalisis dan disajikan secara deskriptif melalui perbandingan dengan tabel standar diameter zona hambat atau kepekaan antibiotik Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) tahun 2021. Hasil identifikasi ditemukan 7 isolat bakteri coccus Gram positif katalase negatif dari dua puluh sampel feses kuda sehat dan dewasa di Jakarta International Equestrian Park. Dari 7 isolat bakteri coccus Gram positif katalase negatif tersebut, 4 isolat teridentifikasi sebagai bakteri Enterococcus sp. sedangkan ketiga lainnya teridentifikasi sebagai bakteri Streptococcus sp. Hasil uji kepekaan bakteri coccus Gram positif katalase negatif menunjukkan isolat bakteri resistan terhadap sefotaksim dan asam nalidiksat. Kepekaan bakteri terhadap amoksisilin, oksitetrasiklin, dan kloramfenikol masih relatif peka. Saran yang dapat disampaikan penulis mengenai penelitian ini yaitu diperlukan adanya penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai faktor ras yang mempengaruhi terjadinya infeksi bakteri. Selain itu, diperlukan identifikasi lebih lanjut berupa identifikasi secara molekuler dengan PCR., Many cases of antimicrobial resistance have occurred in the world, one of which is in horses. Catalase-negative Gram-positive coccus bacteria are pathogenic bacteria that attack the digestive tract of horses. There has been no research on the resistance of Gram positive catalase-negative coccus bacteria in horses in Indonesia to various types of antibiotics. The research was conducted by identifying catalase-negative Gram positive coccus bacteria and testing their sensitivity to 6 types of antibiotics by disc diffusion method. The data were analysed and presented descriptively through comparison with the standard table of inhibition zone diameter or antibiotic sensitivity of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) in 2021. Seven isolates of catalase-negative Gram-positive coccus bacteria were found from twenty faeces samples of healthy and adult horses at the Jakarta International Equestrian Park. Of the seven isolates of catalase-negative Gram positive coccus bacteria, four isolates were identified as Enterococcus sp. while the other three were identified as Streptococcus sp. The results of the sensitivity test of catalase-negative Gram-positive coccus bacteria showed that the bacterial isolates were resistant to cefotaxime and nalidixic acid. Bacterial sensitivity to amoxicillin, oxytetracycline, and chloramphenicol is still relatively sensitive. Suggestions that can be conveyed by the author regarding this research are that further research is required regarding breed factors that affect the occurrence of bacterial infections. In addition, further identification is needed in the form of molecular identification by PCR.

Judul: Identification and Sensitivity Test of Salmonella sp. Bacteria in Horses (Equus caballus) to Several Antibiotics.
Abstrak: Kuda memainkan peran yang semakin penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Sistem pencernaan kuda mengandung berbagai jenis bakteri, seperti Salmonella sp. , dan dianggap sebagai salah satu penyebab utama penyakit zoonosis. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengisolasi dan mengidentifikasi bakteri Salmonella sp. dalam tinja kuda, serta menguji sensitivitas bakteri Salmonella sp. terhadap beberapa antibiotik. Metode penelitian yang digunakan terdiri dari koleksi 20 sampel, isolasi dan identifikasi bakteri, serta pengujian sensitivitas bakteri terhadap antibiotik menggunakan metode difusi cakram atau metode Kirby Bauer. Hasil identifikasi menunjukkan bahwa 9 isolat Salmonella sp. ditemukan dari 20 sampel tinja kuda. Hasil uji sensitivitas bakteri Salmonella terhadap antibiotik yang digunakan menunjukkan bahwa 89% isolat sensitif terhadap gentamisin dan kloramfenikol, 55% terhadap asam nalidiksik, 44% terhadap amoksisilin dan oksitetrasiklin. Hasil intermediat ditemukan untuk beberapa jenis antibiotik seperti amoksisilin (22%), oksitetrasiklin (11%), asam nalidiksik (22%), dan kloramfenikol (11%), sedangkan Salmonella menunjukkan resistansi 100% terhadap sefotaksim. Penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa Salmonella sp. yang terdeteksi dalam tinja kuda menunjukkan resistansi terhadap sefotaksim namun masih sensitif terhadap amoksisilin, gentamisin, asam nalidiksik, oksitetrasiklin, dan kloramfenikol., Horses play an increasingly important role in human life. The digestive system of horses contains various types of bacteria, such as Salmonella sp. and is considered one of the main causes of zoonotic diseases. The aim of this study was to isolat and identify Salmonella sp. bacteria in horse feces, as well as to test the sensitivity of Salmonella sp. bacteria to several antibiotics. The research method used consisted of collecting 20 samples, isolating and identifying the bacteria, and testing the sensitivity of the bacteria to antibiotics using the disk diffusion or Kirby Bauer method. The identification results showed that 9 isolats of Salmonella sp. were found out of 20 horse feces samples. The results of the bacterial sensitivity test on horses to the antibiotics used showed that 89% of the isolats were sensitive to gentamicin and chloramphenicol, 55% to nalidixic acid, 44% to amoxicillin and oxytetracycline. Intermediate results were found for some types of antibiotics such as amoxicillin (22%), oxytetracycline (11%), nalidixic acid (22%), and chloramphenicol (11%), while Salmonella showed 100% resistance to cefotaxime. This study can be concluded that Salmonella sp. detected in horse feces has shown resistance to cefotaxime but is still sensitive to amoxicillin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid, oxytetracycline, and chloramphenicol

Judul: The Construction of Greedy SVP LLL Algorithm
Abstrak: A lattice is a set of all integer linear combination of a set of linearly independent vectors in ℝ𝑛���. The independent vectors are called bases of lattice. Any lattice can be generated from many bases, and these bases have the same cardinality. In the lattice, the most fundamental and renowned problem is the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP). SVP is a tracking problem of the shortest nonzero vector in a lattice with equivalent bases. In two dimensions, SVP problem has resolved exactly by Gauss’ algorithm. When the lattice dimension is higher than two, A.K. Lenstra, H.W. Lenstra and L. Lovasz gave a LLL algorithm to compute approximation of nonzero shortest vector in the lattice. Reduced bases solution obtained from LLL algorithm still be an approximation and has polynomial running time of arbitrary dimension which large enough. In 1994, Schnoor and Euchner modified this LLL algorithm as a new variant which later was named deep insertion LLL algorithm. This algorithm is a modified version of the LLL algorithm to the terms of the exchange step to improve the accuracy of output of LLL reduced bases and applying it to the subset sum problem. The purpose of this research are: (1) Reconstruct the LLL algorithm and deep insertion LLL algorithm using a geometric approach. (2) Construct a greedy SVP LLL algorithm. (3) Implement the three algorithms in a symbolic programming language, and evaluate them experimentally. A bases ℬ=[𝐛���1,𝐛���2,…,𝐛���𝑛���] in ℝ𝑚��� is called reduced LLL with parameter 𝛿��� if satisfies: (a) |𝜇���𝑗���𝑖���|≤12, for every integer 𝑖���,𝑗��� with 1≤𝑖���<𝑗���<𝑛���. (b)𝛿���‖𝜋���𝑗���(𝐛���𝑗���)‖2≤‖𝜋���𝑗���(𝐛���𝑗���+1)‖2, for 𝑗���=1,2,…,𝑛���−1,where 𝛿��� is a reduced parameter of real numbers with 14<𝛿���<1. The first requirement is the reduced basis 𝛿��� must “nearly orthogonal” and in its computation case, this requirement can be reached out by using the Gram-Schmidt’s orthogonalization. While the second requirement is called exchange step, or used to called as Lovasz condition. By using both of these requirements, then they establish the LLL algorithm. Then, Schnoor and Euchner modify the LLL algorithm based on the requirements of the exchange step called the deep insertion LLL algorithm, where the exchange step is based on the comparison of the projected vector in orthogonal complement [𝐛���1,𝐛���2,…,𝐛���𝑘���−1]⊥ after j-th reduction. To construct greedy SVP LLL algorithm, the requirements of the exchange step is based on purely by comparing norm of lattice 𝐛���𝑗��� with norm lattice 𝐛���𝑖��� for 𝑖���=1,2,3…,𝑗���−1. The process of insertion reduced vector after the exchange step also has done greedily. Then, we calculate the number of arithmetic operation in greedy SVP LLL algorithm for further analysis. The result of our exprimentation for three algorithms on the certain matrix size shows that the running time of the three algorithms increases propotional to the size of the matrix. The result also shows that by using 𝛿���=34 for the LLL algorithm and the deep insertion LLL algorithm, and the greedy SVP LLL algorithm which is a new variant made by using no parameter of 𝛿���, outperform of the other of two previous algorithm in terms of speed with the same output.
