Antiseptic Gel from Bacterial Consortium in the Digestion System of Sea Cucumber

This article aims to describe the antiseptic gel consortium of bacteria from the digestion of sea cucumbers. Sea cucumbers are known to contain saponin, tannin, flavanoid, terpenoid and steroid compounds. Some types of bacteria filled with sea cucumbers are known to produce antibacterial substances against Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) bacteria. If several types of bacteria merge and work together, a consortium of 2 bacteria with higher potential as antibacterial will form because synergistic bacteria produce higher remodeling efficiency during the processing process. Natural products of bacteria filled with sea cucumbers have no side effects so its ability can be developed as an alternative antiseptic ingredient to kill germs on the skin.
