1 Abstract Lacticacidbacteriaareknowntohavepotentialinproducingantimicrobial compounds, including antifungal agents. This study aims to determine whetherthelacticacidbacteriafromhumanoralmucosahavethepotential to produce the secondary metabolite to inhibit the candidiasis, which caused by pathogen fungi, Candida albicans. Lactic acid bacteria were isolatedfromthreehealthyrespondentsbasedonagedifferencethatisan infant, child, and adult. Lactic acid bacteria isolation using the demann RogosaSharpeBroth(MRSB)Jliquidmedium,followedbypurificationstage withthequadrantscratchmethodusingthedemannrogosasharpeagar (MRSA)Jsolid medium. The purified isolates obtained were characterized and identified by Gram staining, biochemical tests, and inhibition zone diameter measurement toward pathogenic fungi Candida albicans. The resultswereobtainedfromeachofthetwolacticacidbacteriaisolatesfrom eachrespondentwithcharacteristicsincludinggramjpositivebacteriawith shortstemcellshape,possiblyaslactobacillussp.itisconcludethatthe lactic acid bacteria of oral mucosa from adult had greater anticandidal activitythaninfantandchild.

Thereareatleast15distinctCandidaspeciesthatcausehumandisease,butmorethan90% ofinvasivediseaseiscausedbythefivemostcommonpathogens,c.albicans,c.glabrata,c. tropicalis,c.parapsilosis,andc.krusei(silvajdiasetal.,2014).candidaalbicanscontinuesto bethemostprevalentandproblematicofallcandidaspecies(pereraetal.,2015;pauletal., 2014).ThepathogenicityofCandidaspeciesisattributedtocertainvirulencefactors,suchas theabilitytoevadehostdefences,adhesionandbiofilmformation(onhosttissuesandoron medical devices), and the production of tissuejdamaging hydrolytic enzymes, such as proteases,phospholipasesandhaemolysins(pauletal.,2014).moreover,themorbidityand CONTACT:EVILAUWevi.lauw09@gmail.com InternationalJournalofAppliedBiology 58

Annually, 50% of adults and up to 30% of children die of candidiasis (Paul et al., 2016; Martinezetal.,2015). ThemajorclassesofantifungaldrugsusedfortreatmentofCandidaspeciesinfections are azoles, polyenes, and echinocandins (Martinez et al., 2015). According to previous experimentalresults,irrationalusemayleadtocolonizationofcandidasp.thatareresistant tothesedrugs.ithasbeenreportedthatconventionaltreatmentfortreatingcandidiasiswith fluconazolehasacaseofresistance(martinezetal.,2015;costaetal.,2015).theoccurrence of Candida species infections becoming more difficult to treat due to the growth of immunogenic diseases, endocrine disorders, malnutrition, the disproportionate use of immunosuppressivedrugs,andbroadspectrumantibiotics(costaetal.,2015).itisbelieved thattheincreaseofc.albicansinfectionsisduetoitsintrinsicallylowsusceptibilitytoazoles, including the imidazole and the oraljparenteral triazoles (e.g., fluconazole, voriconazole) (Gayford JJ Harskell R, 2010). Additionally, it is known that the acquired resistance is resultedofraremutationsthatareselectedbydrugpressure(samaranayake,2012). The recent efforts of various excellent researches tremendously broadened on the complex mechanisms of normal flora(scatassa et al., 2015). They were shown that living creatureswithoutnormalfloraaremoresusceptibletopathogenicmicrobes(kanmanietal., 2013; Amadou et al., 2013; Amenu, 2013). In this sense, the authors highlighted the importance of normal flora and that the addition of secondary metabolite to improve the efficacyofcandidasis.theresultofastudyshowedthattherewasanincreaseinoraland dentalhealth,aswellasadecreaseinthenumberofcandidaalbicansfungiinschoolchildren whoconsumedmilkorcheesecontaininglactobacillusrhamnosusstraingg.3whichbelongs to the lactic acid bacteria group(canabarro et al., 2012). According to the authors, some strains of lactic acid bacteria have a positive activity in reducing the amount of Candida albicansinthesalivaofthehumanoralcavity(amenu,2013;canabarroetal.,2012). Recent studies revealed the involvement lactic acid bacteria, especially the genus Lactobacillus, can be isolated from animal and human digestive tracts, including upper gastrointestinal organs such as the oral cavity (Corona et al., 2016).

Theaimofthesefivebiochemicaltestsistoconfirmthattheisolatesobtainedfromtheoral mucosa of humans in this study can satisfy the characteristics of lactic acid bacteria with specificphysiologicalandmetabolicactivitiesspecifically. Theresultsofcarbohydratefermentationtestonthethreeisolates(MB,MA,MD)with medium LB, GB, and SB showed the three results of each positive able to ferment carbohydrate.thepositiveresultismarkedbythecolourchangeofthemediumtoyellow andtheformationofgasinthedurhamtube.thisisconsistentwiththereferencethatlactic acidbacteriaincludeheterofermentativebacteria,whicharecapableoffermentingsugars (monosaccharaidesanddisaccharides)toproduceacidicandco 2 gases.theacidicconditions inthemediumresultinachangeofmediumcolourandbubbleformation(minervinietal., 2012;Pepeetal.,2013). The result of the motility test of all three isolates showed the growth of colonies perpendicularlyinthedirectionofinoculationusingaloop,andwithoutspreadingaroundthe inoculants. If the bacterial cell is motile, its colonies will spread throughout the medium. Therefore,thethreeisolates(MB,MA,MD)arenonJmotilebacteria(Minervinietal.,2012; Pepeetal.,2013). Theresultofcatalasetestoflacticacidbacteriaisolatedfromoralmucosaofthethree samples(mb,ma,md)wasnegativecatalase.thisisinaccordancewiththereferencetothe fact that lactic acid bacteria do not produce catalase enzymes so that the test results are negativeasaresultoftheabsenceofh 2 O 2 degradationbycatalaseenzymes(minervinietal., 2012;Pepeetal.,2013). TheoptimumpHtestresultsinthisstudywerepH4.AtpH4,themostturbidvisible mediumwasthoughttobethehighestgrowthrateoflacticacidbacteriainthisstudy.the previous study stated that lactic acid compounds capable of inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microbes by lowering the ph of the environment to 3 to 4.5 so that other microbialgrowthwillbehampered(minervinietal.,2012;pepeetal.,2013). Theoptimumtemperaturetestresultsareat45 C,whichisthehighesttemperature ofthistest.thehighestgrowthofcoloniesintheformofthecloudyjlookingmediumoccurred at45 Ccomparedto25 Cand37 C.Basedonthereference,lacticacidbacteriacangrow atatemperatureof20j50 C(Minervinietal.,2012;Pepeetal.,2013).
