Multidrug-resistant bacteria have posed a public health concern over the years, especially with the difficulty and cost of treatment of infections they cause. Fomites such as door handles are thus potent means through which pathogens are transmitted from one person to another as contact with them is made. This study thus involves isolating antibiotic-resistant bacteria from car and office door handles in a university environment. Using the simple random sampling method, twenty samples (20) from car door handles and twenty samples (20) from office door handles were collected, the isolation of bacteria was done using standard microbiological procedures and identification of the isolates was done using cultural, microscopic and biochemical characterization. Determination of the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the isolates was done using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method on Muller Hinton agar. Antibiotics used included Ofloxacin (5 µg), Gentamicin (10 µg), Ceftriaxone (30 µg), Augmentin (30 µg), Ciprofloxacin (5 µg), Erythromycin (5 µg), Streptomycin (30 µg) and Cloxacillin (30 µg). The results showed a significant frequency of occurrence of Staphylococcus aureus at 35% and Klebsiella pneumoniae having least at 5%. From car door handles, S. epidermidis recorded 37% while K. pneumoniae recorded the least with 17.4%. The isolates exhibited resistance to antibiotics including Augmentin and Ceftriaxone (≤22 mm) while they were more susceptible to Ofloxacin (≥16 mm). All the K. pneumoniae isolated from car door handles exhibited resistance to Augmentin and Ceftriaxone. These results show that these surfaces could be a possible reservoir of infections caused by resistant bacteria, leading to difficulty in the treatment of infections caused by them.

Hand sanitizer berbahan alkohol dapat menimbulkan iritasi, dan membuat kulit kering. Sehingga pada saat ini banyak dikembangkan pembuatan hand sanitizer berbahan alami. Salah satu bahan alami yang dapat digunakan yaitu biji alpukat. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui potensi ekstrak biji alpukat yang dapat digunakan sebagai hand sanitizer alami yang lebih aman untuk kulit. Metode yang digunakan yaitu dengan mengumpulkan, menganalisis dan marangkum artikel yang sesuai dengan tujuan yang dipublikasi pada tahun 2016-2020 dan bersifat free fulltext acces. Pencarian artikel menggunakan databased Google scholar dan Garuda dengan kata kunci fitokimia, antibakteri, hand sanitizer alami, dan biji alpukat. Hasil ditemukan bahwa ekstrak biji alpukat berpotensi digunakan sebagai Hands sanitizer alami dikarenakan dalam biji alpukat memiliki kandungan fitokimia berupa senyawa asam lemak, flavonoid, tannin, fenol, saponin, alkaloid, steroid, dan terpenoid. Memiliki aktivitas antibakteri pada bakteri Gram Negatif maupun bakteri Gram Positif dengan zona hambat dalam kategori sedang hingga kuat. Dan pelarut yang paling baik digunakan dalam ekstraksi biji alpukat yaitu pelarut Metanol yang bersifat polar. Simpulan menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak biji alpukat berpotensi sebagai bahan pembuatan hand sanitizer alami dikarenakan memiliki senyawa dan aktivitas antibakteri.
