“…Diarrhea is an abnormal condition of defecation, occurring three or more times a day and characterized by a mushy or liquid consistency, sometimes manifesting as mostly water [1,2]. Diarrhea is a global health problem, especially in developing countries, including Indonesia, in which a high incidence of diarrhea in terms of mortality and morbidity remains one of the health problems demanding serious management [3]. Diarrhea can affect individuals of all age groups, including toddlers, children, adults, and even the elderly.…”

Diarrhea is an atypical state of the digestive system characterized by a soft or watery texture in bowel movements. Antibiotic-related diarrhea is common in the elderly due to extensive antibiotic use. Probiotics are vital microorganisms that support the intestinal flora and reduce bacterial colonization in the intestinal wall. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness, type, and dose of probiotics for diarrhea in the elderly. A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted using PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Seven records with a total of 2,087 participants were included. A quantitative analysis was carried out using Review Manager version 5 software. A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the frequency of diarrhea. The results showed that using probiotics significantly reduced the risk of antibiotic-related diarrhea 0.53 times compared to the placebo administration (OR 0.53; CI 95% 0.29 to 0.98; I2 = 70%). The type of probiotics frequently given was the genera of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Streptococcus, with consumption durations varying from 3 days to a maximum of 4 weeks. The dose of probiotics ranged from a minimum of 1.0 × 10⁶ CFU to a maximum dose of 2 × 10¹⁰ CFU. To conclude, probiotic administration is more effective than placebo in reducing the risk of antibiotic-related diarrhea in the elderly.

“…Bakong Asoê is highly susceptible to heavy metal contamination (such as Pb, Cd, Fe, and Hg) and microbiological contamination from Coliform bacteria like Escherichia during processing, storage, and sale [12]. Intoxication caused by Coliform bacteria can result in human digestive tract disorders such as diarrhea, vomiting, and fever [13][14][15]. Therefore, this comprehensive study aimed to thoroughly analyze and quantify the levels of heavy metal contamination and identify and enumerate the microbial contaminants present in Aceh's traditional chewing tobacco (Bakông Asóê).…”

Bakông Asóe is a typical Acehnese snack loved by older people in Aceh since ancient times. This snack is made from wet tobacco which is used as chewing tobacco. The process of drying Bakông Asóê in the open triggers heavy metal contamination by air pollution from motor vehicles. The process of storing Bakông Asóê in a wet state also triggers the growth of microbes such as bacteria and fungi due to a growth medium in the form of water. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of heavy metal contamination (Pb, Cd, Se, Cu and Hg) and microbiological contamination in the form of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and fungi (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) in Bakông Asóê which sold on the side of the road without adequate hygiene. The research refers to a qualitative research approach with the type of research that is descriptive research. This study showed that heavy metal exposure in the form of Pb, Cu and Se in the three samples was still in the safe range for consumption. However, exposure to heavy metals in the form of Cd and Hg in the three samples exceeded the consumption standard. The results of the analysis of microbiological contamination in the three Bakông Asóê samples were proven to contain bacterial and fungal contamination, where cocci-shaped bacteria were more commonly found and fungi with the genus Aspergillus sp were also more dominant in the three Bakông Asóê samples. The conclusion of this study is positive for chemical and microbiological contamination in Bakông Asóê, which is sold in Aceh, Ule Kareng and Lambaro Markets.

“…On the other hand, the world is currently facing a health problem characterized by the emergence of numerous cases of antimicrobial resistance caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa [10,11]. The increasing incidence of resistance among pathogenic microorganisms against antimicrobial agents is primarily attributed to the inappropriate use of these agents in treating various infectious diseases [12].…”

The lower area of the Ie Seu-um manifestation, located in Ie Seu-um village, Aceh Besar District, harbors several medicinal plants that exhibit potential for the treatment of infectious diseases. This study aims to assess the secondary metabolite content and in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans of medicinal plants inhabiting the geothermal region. Medicinal plants, namely Pluchea indica (L.) Less., Acrostichum aureum L., Acacia mangium L., and Calotropis gigantea (L.) Dryand., were collected within a range of 100-150 meters from the hot springs in the lower area. Methanol extracts of these medicinal plants underwent phytochemical screening and were tested for antimicrobial activity using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method at a concentration of 50%. The results of phytochemical screening demonstrated positive variations in alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, triterpenoids, and tannins for each medicinal plant. The antimicrobial activity of the methanol extracts noticeably inhibited the growth of S. aureus compared to E. coli and C. albicans. The largest inhibition zones were observed for the leaf part of A. mangium (12.70 ± 2.30 mm) against S. aureus, the aerial part of A. aureum (11.57 ± 2.01 mm) against E. coli, and the aerial part of P. indica (9.89 ± 1.11 mm) against C. albicans. Based on the research findings, medicinal plants originating from the lower area of the Ie Seu-um manifestation exhibit potential as antimicrobial agents, particularly against gram-positive bacteria.
