The low level of knowledge about the appropriate use of antibiotics causes the practice of irrational antibiotic use to increase. The aim of this community service is to provide education about understanding antibiotics and how to use them appropriately and rationally. The community service method is by providing education through group discussions, workshops and seminars to health workers, posyandu cadre mothers and the community around Ratujaya Village, Depok. The level of knowledge about antibiotic use was measured using a questionnaire, pretest and posttest. The results achieved by this community service after providing education on understanding antibiotics and their use to the community show that people who have good and sufficient knowledge about antibiotics are 88.57%, meaning that more people understand about antibiotics than those who don't. It can be concluded that the education on the use of antibiotics provided to the public can sufficiently increase public knowledge regarding antibiotics.  

Respiratory tract infections are one of the causes of high mortality and morbidity in children, especially in children under the age of 5 years whose immune system is still susceptible to various diseases.

  Infectious diseases are still an important public health problem, especially in developing countries. One of the mainstay drugs to overcome this problem is antibiotics. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics continues to increase throughout the world, including Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the average use of antibiotic eye drops for the period January to March 2021 at the Community Eye Health Center January to March 2021. The method in this research is a descriptive survey. The population in this study were all prescription data from January to March at the Community Eye Health Center. Results In January to March 2021 the average number of uses of the antibiotic Levofloxacin was 39.6. Polynel is 35. Bralifex is 34.

Background: Using antibiotics for self-medication increases the risk of developing resistance, which raises morbidity and mortality. Communities are crucial in stopping and limiting the spread of antibiotic resistance (AMR). 80% of the residents in Bengkel Village work as farmers. The agrarian community in Bengkel Village has highly magnificent natural potential as well as agricultural and cultural activities that are still well maintained. It also has the largest “subak” land in Kediri Regency. Purpose: This community service is to educate the general population about the importance of limiting the use of antibiotic self-medication, which is essential for combating AMR. Methods: The Clinical Pharmacy Study Program, the Indonesian Pharmacists Association Bali Province, and the One Health Collaborating Center collaborated on this community service. On July 17, 2022, in Bengkel Village-Tabanan, a health counseling intervention was done with housewives who are participants in the Family Welfare Empowerment. Results: Over 50 people from the Chairman, Management, and Family Welfare Empowerment cadres in Bengkel Village made up the community component of this health counseling. The participants' enthusiasm for watching the event and engaging with the resource people is proof that the activity went off without a hitch. By providing more counseling, activities are intended to be sustained (stage 2). Conclusion: Community service in Bengkel Village-Tabanan is expected to provide knowledge about health and the importance of AMR awareness. For the continuation of this activity, it is recommended to conduct outreach to other community groups such as farmers, breeders, and young age groups.

Background: Diabetic ulcer is a complication of peripheral neuropathy in people with diabetes mellitus which often ends in disability or death. Proper handling of infection is closely related to the rational use of antibiotics to avoid the occurrence of resistance. The emergence of resistance to antibiotics has an effect on the risk of increasing infection status, increasing the length of stay in the hospital, the risk of amputation and even death. Objectives: This study aims to determine the type and percentage of bacteria present in diabetic ulcers and to test the sensitivity of antibiotics prescribed in diabetic patients with ulcers in the inpatient room of RSUD Kraton, Pekalongan Regency. Methods: The research model used was descriptive to describe the profile of bacteria and the sensitivity of antibiotics prescribed to bacterial findings from diabetic ulcer isolates in inpatients at Kraton Hospital, Pekalongan Regency. The research method was carried out by biochemical identification and sensitivity testing of the Kirby Bauer technique on 2 samples of diabetic patients with ulcer complications taken by total census during March-April 2022. Results: Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa were found with a percentage of 50% each. The sensitivity test showed that Ampicillin was resistant to Staphylococcus aureus, Ciprofloxacin was resistant to Enterobacter aerogenes and intermediate to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The percentage of effectiveness of Meropenem and Metronidazole antibiotics had the highest sensitivity values, namely 100%, 50% Ampicillin and 25% Ciprofloxacin. Conclusion: From the research that has been done, it can be concluded that Ampicillin is resistant to Staphylococcus aureus, Ciprofloxacin is resistant to Enterobacter aerugenes, Ciprofloxacin intermediate is resistant to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Meropenem and Metronidazole are sensitive to the three bacterial findings namely Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang berlokasi di wilayah yang rawan terhadap berbagai kejadian bencana alam.

Nekrolisis epidermal toksik (NET) adalah peradangan sistemik akut yang melibatkan kulit, membran mukosa, epitel pernafasan dan pencernaan. Dalam banyak kasus, obat-obatan merupakan penyebab utama NET akan tetapi dapat juga disebabkan oleh infeksi dan faktor-faktor resiko lainnya. Membran mukosa (rongga mulut, konjungtiva dan anogenital) adalah bagian tubuh yang paling awal terlibat pada NET. Lebih dari 200 obat dari berbagai golongan berhubungan dengan terjadinya NET. Penggunaan obat-obatan yang memiliki resiko tinggi dan sering menyebabkan terjadinya NET seperti antigout (allopurinol), antiepilepsi (carbamazepine, fenitoin, fenobarbital, lamotrigin), antibiotik (kotrimoksazol dan sulfonamid lain, floroquinolone), anti inflamasi (sulfasalazine), anti-HIV (nevirapine), obat anti inflamasi golongan oxicam(meloxicam), dan analgesik (parasetamol). Pengobatan NET adalah pendekatan multidisiplin dan hingga kini belum ada panduan yang diakui secara internasional untuk terapinya.Tujuan dari studi kasus adalah membahas mengenai Nekrolisis epidermal toksikyang dipicu oleh obat penurun panas serta manajemen terapinya.
