Judul: Detection of Beta Lactam Antibiotic Resistance Gene in Escherichia coli from Effluent of Pig Slaughterhouse in Tangerang City
Abstrak: Pesatnya perkembangan industri peternakan babi menyebabkan penggunaan antibiotik sebagai obat dan bahan tambahan pakan semakin meningkat. Penyalahgunaan antibiotik hewan menyebabkan munculnya gen resistansi antibiotik secara cepat pada hewan yang selanjutnya mempercepat perkembangan resistansi bakteri. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeteksi keberadaan gen penyandi resistansi antibiotik beta laktam pada Escherichia coli (E. coli) yang diisolasi dari efluen tempat pemotongan babi di Kota Tangerang. Keberadaan gen penyandi resistansi antibiotik beta laktam dideteksi dengan menggunakan quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 80% isolat memiliki setidaknya satu gen penyandi resistansi antibiotik beta laktam. Gen blaTEM, blaCTX-M, dan blaCMY-2 dideteksi pada isolat dengan prevalensi secara berurutan sebesar 60%, 50%, dan 30%. Sebanyak 40% isolat mengandung lebih dari satu gen penyandi resistansi antibiotik beta laktam. Tingginya prevalensi gen penyandi resistansi antibiotik beta laktam berpotensi menjadi sumber penyebaran resistansi antibiotik ke lingkungan yang dapat berdampak pada kesehatan masyarakat., The rapid development of the pig farming industry has led to the increasing use of antibiotics as medicine and feed additives. Misuse of animal antibiotics causes the emergence of antibiotic resistance genes rapidly in animals which in turn accelerates the development of bacterial resistance. This study aimed to detect the presence of beta-lactam antibiotic resistance genes in Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from pig slaughterhouse effluent in Tangerang City. The presence of beta lactam antibiotic resistance genes was detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The results showed that 80% of the isolates had at least one beta-lactam antibiotic resistance gene. The blaTEM, blaCTX-M, and blaCMY-2 genes were detected in isolates with a prevalence of 60%, 50%, and 30%, respectively. As many as 40% of the isolates contained more than one beta lactam antibiotic resistance gene. The high prevalence of beta-lactam antibiotic resistance genes has the potential to become a source of spread of antibiotic resistance to the environment which can have an impact on public health.

Judul: Detection of Beta Lactam Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Escherichia coli from Pig Slaughterhouse Floors in Tanggerang City
Abstrak: Kejadian resistansi antibiotik di Indonesia menjadi masalah yang serius tetapi tingkat resistansi dan gen penyandi resistansinya belum banyak dilaporkan, termasuk yang bersumber dari tempat pemotongan babi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeteksi keberadaan gen penyandi resistansi antibiotik beta laktam pada Escherichia coli yang diisolasi dari lantai tempat pemotongan babi di Kota Tangerang. Keberadaan gen penyandi resistansi antibiotik beta laktam dideteksi menggunakan real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 80% isolat memiliki setidaknya satu gen penyandi resistansi antibiotik beta laktam. Sebanyak 40% isolat mengandung lebih dari satu gen penyandi resistansi antibiotik beta laktam. Gen blaTEM, blaCTX-M, dan blaCMY2 dideteksi pada isolat dengan prevalensi secara berurut sebesar 60%, 40%, dan 30%. Tingginya prevalensi gen penyandi resistansi antibiotik beta laktam pada E. coli dari lantai berpeluang menjadi sumber penyebaran resistansi antibiotik melalui lingkungan yang tercemar.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
