UJI KEPEKAAN BAKTERI Escherichia coli HASIL ISOLASI DARI URIN PASIEN RUMAH SAKIT Dr. Sardjito TERHADAP ANTIBIOTIK GOLONGAN β-LAKTAM INTISARI Pengggunaan antibiotik yang terus menerus dan tidak terkendali dengan baik dikhawatirkan akan meningkatkan terjadinya strain bakteri yang resisten terhadap antibiotik. Perlu dilakukan pengujian terhadap masing-masing antibiotik untuk melihat kepekaan bakteri E. coli terhadap antibiotik β-laktam. Uji kepekaan diawali dengan melakukan isolasi bakteri dari sampel urin pasien di rumah sakit Dr Sardjito dilanjutkan dengan menghitung jumlah koloni/angka kuman yang tumbuh kemudian dilakukan identifikasi bakteri. Langkah selanjutnya dilakukan uji kepekaan bakteri dengan metode difusi cara Kirby Bauer, dengan disk antibiotik standar ampisilin 10 μg, sulbaktam/ampisilin 20 μg, sefotaksim 30 μg, seftazidim 30 μg, seftriaxon 30 μg, sefpirom 30 μg, sefepim 30 μg dan imipenem 10 μg. Untuk masing-masing antibiotik uji kemudian diukur diameter zona hambatannya selanjutnya dibandingkan terhadap tabel interpretasi zona diameter standar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua E. coli resisten terhadap antibiotik ampisilin, 65% resisten terhadap antibiotik sulbaktam/ampisilin, 50% masih sensitif terhadap antibiotik sefalosporin generasi ke-3 yaitu sefotaksim, seftazidim, seftriakson; lebih dari 50% sensitif terhadap antibiotik sefalosporin generasi ke-4 seperti sefepim dan sefpirom; dan semua bakteri E. coli sensitif terhadap antibiotik imipenem.

The sensitivity assay of E. coli toward β-lactam antibiotic has been done. The sensitivity assay was started with isolated bacteria from patients urine at Dr. Sardjito hospital followed by count total of colony/number of germ which growth and identified the bacteria. The Kirby Bauer method was performed. Antibiotic impregnated disk (ampicillin 30 μg, sulbactam/ampicillin 20 μg, cefotaxim 30 μg, ceftazidime 30 μg, ceftriaxon 30 μg, cefpirom 30 μg, cefepim 30 μg and imipenem 10 μg) were placed on agar plate previously streaked with suspensia of E. coli (1.108 CFU/ml). The plates were incubated for 18-24 hours at 370 C. The diameters of the zone inhibition were measured, and compared to standar interpretive zone sizes. The result of the study showed that all of E. coli resistant toward antibiotic ampicillin; 65% resistant toward antibiotic sulbactam/ampicillin; 50% still sensitive toward antibiotic third cefalosporin generation that is cefotaxim, ceftazidime, ceftriaxon; more than 50% sensitive toward fourth cefalosporin generation like cefepim, cefpirom and all of pathogen bacteria E. coli sensitive toward antibiotic imipenem.
