TB is caused by <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em>, this disease usually attacks the lumgs but it can also attack other parts of the body. Kanamycin is one of the main second-line drugs for the traetment of tuberculosis. The patients suffering from tuberculosis are caused by <em>multing-resistent strains</em> with resistence to anti-tuberculosis drugs. Kanamycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that works to inhibit the protein synthesis process of microorganisms. This research aimed to determine the sensitivity of the antibiotic kanamycin to clinical isolates of TB by using the <em>Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube</em> (MGIT) 960 method. The type of reaserch used descriptive with an experimental method which aimed to test the sensitivity of the antibiotic kanamycin to clinical isolates of <em>Mycobacterium Growth Indicator</em> Tube (MGIT) 960. From the results of reaserch conducted on 20 (100%) samples, 4 (20%) samplesm were resistent, and 16 (18%) samples sensitive. This proves that the antibiotic kanamycin is stil suitable for use because the examinations results obtained showed that the antibiotic was still sensitive in some respondents who used the amtibiotic.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> Agung Nicky Triawan Sulfiani Subair Copyright (c) 2024 Tropis: Jurnal Riset Teknologi Laboratorium Medis https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-08-03 2024-08-03 1 2 10.37304/tropis.v1i2.13470 Tingkat kepadatan larva nyamuk Aedes aegypti di wilayah TPA Sukawinatan https://e-journal.upr.ac.id/index.php/tropis/article/view/14317 <p><em>Aedes aegypti</em> mosquito is a competent vector for transmitting dengue fever which can live and reproduce in temporary water reservoirs such as drums, buckets, cans, tires, bottles and barrels such as those in the Sukawinatan TPA area RT.68 RW.10. This research aims to determine the density level of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae in the Sukawinatan TPA area in 2023. This research is quantitative descriptive and uses primary data from a total sampling of 84 families at RT.68 RW.10 Sukawinatan TPA. The results show the level of density of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae based on HI 28.57%, CI 10.85%, BI 48.81%, and larvae free rate 71.43%, DF obtained HI 5 (medium density), CI 4 (medium density). medium), and BI 5 (medium density). The HI, CI, BI, ABJ, and DF values ​​are still below the 2005 WHO standard, which means that the transmission of the Aedes aegypi mosquito is high. It is hoped that this research data can become a benchmark for evaluating the vector control program in the Sukawitan area, especially in TPA RT.68 RW.10, this can be anticipated by carrying out the PSN 3M Plus movement periodically which can be carried out by the community.</p> Oca Mareta Herry Hermansyah Karneli Copyright (c) 2024 Tropis: Jurnal Riset Teknologi Laboratorium Medis https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-07-31 2024-07-31 1 2 10.37304/tropis.v1i2.14317 Literatur review : protozoa parasit di air sungai https://e-journal.upr.ac.id/index.php/tropis/article/view/13978 <p>River water is potentially unsafe and polluted, which can cause serious infections. Waterborne infections are a major cause of global mortality and morbidity. In cases of diarrhea, this research aims to identify the types of parasitic protozoa and their distribution in waterways in Japan and Indonesia. This research reviews literature by collecting data from various sources, such as books, national and international scientific journals. The articles analyzed are original articles relating to protozoa in river water from both countries. In Japan, protozoa such as <em>Henneguya</em> were found in the Omoi River and <em>Cryptosporidium parvum</em> in several rivers in Hokkaido. In Indonesia, species such as <em>Codonellopsis </em>sp<em>., Favella </em>sp<em>., Tintinnopsis </em>sp<em>., and Codonella </em>sp<em>.</em> are found. in Sorong Regency, as well as various other types in West Bandung, Central Sulawesi and South Kalimantan. The diversity and distribution of protozoa is influenced by water quality, physical conditions, water chemistry, and human activities. This research can provide information regarding protozoa which can act as bioindicators of water quality. The presence and diversity of protozoa can provide an indication of the health condition of aquatic ecosystems. As a result, conservation efforts and management of aquatic ecosystems can be improved.</p> Dhany Setya Handary Dhany Vincentya Aurell Septria Agsant Tening Mardiono Khairunnisa Alfiana Aulia Fitri Fitri Dora Gracia Jessica Christin Silitonga Wulan Valentina Eleventi Oktarina Putri Copyright (c) 2024 Tropis: Jurnal Riset Teknologi Laboratorium Medis https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-08-11 2024-08-11 1 2 10.37304/tropis.v1i2.13978 Identifikasi protozoa parasitik di saluran pembuangan air limbah rumah tangga Kota Palangka Raya https://e-journal.upr.ac.id/index.php/tropis/article/view/13733 <p>Gastrointestinal protozoan infections are still a health problem throughout the world, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia.
