xiii INTISARI UJI KEPEKAAN BAKTERI METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS TERHADAP ANTIBIOTIK VANCOMYCIN DENGAN METODE MACROBROTH DILUTION Primadhy Rahardian Wijaya*, Titik Nuryastuti**, Praseno** * Mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Gadjah Mada **Bagian Mikrobiologi, Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Gadjah Mada Latar Belakang : Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) merupakan bakteri patogen utama penyebab infeksi. Infeksi yang disebabkan oleh bakteri Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus bersifat parah dan sulit diterapi karena bakteri ini resisten terhadap segala antibiotik beta laktam serta kerentanaanya untuk resisten terhadap bermacam antibiotik. Bahkan dapat ditemui beberapa strain yang resisten terhadap antibiotik Vancomycin yang menjadi pilihan pertama dalam terapi bakteri ini. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui kepekaan bakteri MRSA di Yogyakarta terhadap antibiotik Vancomycin. Tujuan : Mengetahui kepekaan bakteri Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus terhadap antibiotik Vancomycin secara In vitro dengan metode macrobroth dilution. Metode : Penelitian ini berjenis penelitian observasional. Subjek penelitian adalah antibiotik vancomycin dan bakteri uji Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus koleksi laboratorium mikrobiologi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Gadjah Mada. Kadar Hambat Minimum (KHM) dan Kadar Bunuh Minimum (KBM) untuk Vancomycin terhadap MethicillinResistant Staphylococcus aureus diperiksa dengan menggunakan Metode macrobroth dilution dan dicocokkan sesuai standar CLSI. Hasil : Kadar Hambat Minimum (KHM) dari 5 isolat Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus yang diuji kepekaannya terhadap antibiotik Vancomycin, 4 dari 5 isolat (80%) dinyatakan sensitif terhadap vancomycin. Sebanyak 1 dari 5 isolat (20%) dinyatakan intermediate dan 0 dari 5 isolat (0%) dinyatakan resisten. Kadar Bunuh Minimum (KBM) dari Vancomycin menunjukkan efek bakterisidal terhadap bakteri MRSA. Kesimpulan :Bakteri Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus masih cukup sensitif terhadap antibiotik vancomycin. Kata Kunci :Vancomycin, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Kadar Hambat Minimum (KHM), Kadar Bunuh Minimum, Kepekaan, Sensitivitas, Antibiotik. xiv ABSTRACT SENSITIVITY TEST OF METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS AGAINST VANCOMYCIN WITH MACROBROTH DILUTION METHOD Primadhy Rahardian Wijaya*, Titik Nuryastuti**, Praseno** * Undergraduate Student of Faculty of Medicine, Gadjah Mada University ** Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Gadjah Mada University Background : Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus is one of main pathogen causing infection in human beings. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections is often severe and hard to treat because it’s capability to resists any beta lactams antibiotics and its fast ability to develop resistant against various antibiotics. Even, some of strains are found to be resistant against Vancomycin that has been a drug of choice to treat this bacterial infection. This research’s objective is to know the sensitivity of MRSA to antibiotic vancomycin in Yogyakarta. Objectives : To know Vancomycin sensitivity against Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus with macrobroth dilution method. Method : This study used observational design. The materials were Vancomycin antibiotic and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate collections of Laboratorium of Microbiology Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada. Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimal Bacteriocidal Concentration (MBC) of Vancomycin against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus were examined using Macrobroth Dilution and match it with CLSI standard. Results : Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 5 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates tested against Vancomycin were 80% sensitive, 20% intermediate, and 0% resistant. Conclusion : Vancomycin has antibacterial effect and still sensitive againts Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Key Words: Vancomycin, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimal Bacteriocidal Concentration (MBC), Sensitivity, Antibiotic.
