Abstract
Streptococcus is a Gram-positive coccus from the family Streptococcaceae that can be found normally in some healthy animal but can cause a disease as well. The purpose of this research is to know the hemolysis profile from pig’s tonsil swab isolated from the traditional pig slaughterhouse at Punggul Village and Bongkasa Village that can be divided into three hemolytic profile; alpha-hemolytic, beta hemolytic, and gamma hemolytic, to know the pathogenicity. This research is divided into several steps, such as; isolating the swab, Gram test, catalase test, oxidase test, and hemolysis test on Sheep Blood Agar. Streptococcus is a Gram-positive coccus, tested Gram positive, catalase negative and oxidase positive. This research concludes the amount of positive Streptococcus sp sample based on hemolysis profile is 6 of 24 samples, whereas 3 of 24 samples (12,5%) has ? hemolysis pattern, 3 of 24 samples (12,5%) has ? hemolysis pattern and none showed the ? pattern. The conclusion from the table; showed positive sample of Streptococcus sp is divided 50:50 for the ? and ? hemolysis, and no sample showed the ? pattern. At most cases, the ? and ? hemolysis Streptococcus is a pathogen bacterium. This data might be useful for references to see the transmission of Streptococcus sp in swine at Abiansemal area in Badung, Bali
Highlights
Streptococcosis is a term used for disease caused by a group of bacteria called Streptococcus
Lysing ability of Streptococcus to break down red blood cell is one of the ways to differentiate for other biochemical test, because hemolysis ability is estimation test for some Streptococcus
The conclusion of this study is positive tested samples of Streptococcus sp based on the hemolysis profile is 6 of 24 samples (25%) have lysing ability to break red blood cell with the detail as follow; 3 of 24 samples (12,5%) is α hemolysis, 3 of 24 samples (12,5%) is βhemolysis, and no γ hemolysis sample
Summary
Streptococcosis is a term used for disease caused by a group of bacteria called Streptococcus. Some of this bacterium are normal flora living in the human and animal’s body and don’t cause disease. Some of them can cause disease (sometimes severe one) both in animal and human. The bacteria itself is a normal flora, but when the bacteria enter wound, abrasion, or other wound or when the immune system is weakened, disease can occur. This bacterium spread between animal by direct contact, aerosol, vomit and sometimes ingested/oral [6]
