Pengaruh Sodium Hipoklorit dan Kalsium Hipoklorit terhadap Daya Hidup Leptospira Patogenik

Leptospirosis is still a health problem in the word. Leptospirosis can be transmitted to humans trough contact with environment infected with pathogenic Leptospira. Efforts to control pathogenic Leptospira in the environment can be done one of them by disinfecting. Effective desinfectants for the control of pathogenic Leptospira include the active ingredients Calcium hypochlorite 60% and Sodium hypochlorite 5,25%. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Calcium hypochlorite 60% and Sodium hypochlorite 5,25% against the life power of pathogenic Leptospira. This research is a laboratory study with pure experimental design. Serovar of pathogenic Leptospira used is Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae. Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae desnsity used as much as 5.7 x 106 Leptospira/ml. The concentrations of desinfectans and bacteria are: 5 ppm, 50 ppm, 500 ppm, 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, 5000 ppm, 10.000 ppm, and 25.000 ppm. Observations are made every ten minutes and twenty minutes with three repeats. The results showed that Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae could not survive when tested on 60% calcium hypochlorite and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, respectively, at a concentration of 2000 ppm and a concentration of 1000 ppm. Statistical results showed there was a significant difference in the concentration of each disinfectant active ingredient. Thus, a disinfectans of chlorine with the active ingredient Calcium hypochlorite 60% and Sodium hypochlorite 5,25% effectively affects the viability of the Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae.

Leptospirosis dapat menular ke manusia lewat kontak dengan lingkungan yang mengandung Leptospira patogenik. Upaya pengendalian Leptospira patogenik di lingkungan dapat dilakukan salah satunya dengan pemberian disinfektan. Disinfektan yang efektif untuk pengendalian Leptospira patogenik diantaranya adalah bahan aktif kalsium hipoklorit 60% dan sodium hipoklorit 5,25%. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui efektivitas bahan aktif kalsium hipoklorit 60% dan sodium hipoklorit 5,25% terhadap daya hidup Leptospira patogenik. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian skala laboratorium dengan rancangan eksperimental murni. Serovar Leptospira patogenik yang digunakan adalah Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae. Kepadatan Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae yang digunakan sebanyak 5,7 x 106 Leptospira/ml. Konsentrasi campuran disinfe
