Antibacterial activities of bacteria associated with marine sponges of Axinella sp. on Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii (CRAB)

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a gram-negative bacillus that commonly causes nosocomial infection found in Indonesia. CRAB caused by resistant to Carbapenem. Resistance occurred because bacteria cause infections easily treated with antibiotics become difficult treat due the uncontrolled use of antibiotics. A. has been against carbapenem class antibiotics; and therefore, are required be obtained from natural ingredients optimal working power, such as marine sponges Axinella sp. The purpose this study was determine antibacterial activities associated CRAB. Bacteria were isolated differential dilution cultures on Zobell 2216E media. An activity test performed using overlay method. carried out presence inhibition zones. results showed sponge sp strain 3 KD had growth formation an zone 16 mm. catalase oxidase depicted isolates belong family Staphylococcaceae. Isolates potential agents growth.
