IDENTIFIKASI JENIS DAN JUMLAH BAKTERI PADA PASIEN MIKOSIS KULIT
Abstract: The occurrence of
bacteria on superficial mycosis (tinea) has been studied. The aim of the study
is to observe the presence of bacterial species as secondary infection on
superficial primary mycosis. Thirty samples of patients mycosis were
investigated by scrapping method at head skin (tinea capitis), body (tinea
corporis), feet (tinea pedis), nail (tinea manus), and upper tight (tinea
cruris). By adding potassium hydroxide (KOH) 10%, each sample was tested
microscopically to examine the presence of parasitic fungi. The positive
samples were diluted to 10-2 in sterile
distilled water. The samples were cultured in solidified nutrient agar (NA)
media for 37oC, 24 h. The number of bacteria colonies were
calculated, the colonies were determined by Gram stainning. Most patients were infected by tinea tinea
corporis, tinea pedis, tinea cruris, tinea manus, and tinea capitis,
respectively. Five species bacteria were found, the highest number of bacteria
was Staphylococcus aureus, which was
found in all tinea. The second number was Streptococcus faecalis, Enterobacter
aerogenes, Escherichia coli, and Proteus vulgaris, respectively.
