Item Activación foto-catalítica de nano partículas de MnO2 obtenidas a partir de ablación laser, aplicada a superficies auto-limpiantes(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2021) Villegas Díaz, Claudia Lorena; Ávila Torres, Yenny Patricia (Directora); Ríos Acevedo, John Jairo (Director)The nano-particles of metallic materials have many applications, a field of special interest is the hospital, since there are many infections associated with health care (HAI) these infections must be related to hospitalization or procedures performed in the hospital. Mainly originated by Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, for this reason materials are required that are capable of eliminating these bacteria attached to it, and thus prevent the high number of infections (self-cleaning surfaces). A new material with these characteristics is manganese oxide (MnO2), used in the manufacture of steel, with which hospital equipment is manufactured. In this study, different factors affecting bactericidal photocatalysis were tested, showing that the attack is discriminated for gram positive and gram negative bacteria, the action mechanism is governed via hydroxyl radicals and to a lesser degree via superficial voids. Finally, a material with little recombination is obtained, which represents a success in the synthesis of metal oxide.Item Actividad antifúngica de Alpinia zerumbet frente a mohos y levaduras de importancia clínica(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2020) Cruz Alemán, Lady Stephanie; Benavides Gálvez, Laura Isabel; Caicedo Bejarano, Luz Dary (Directora); Castro Narváez, Sandra Patricia (Directora)Invasive fungal diseases (EFI) diseases to susceptible hosts, cause high impact morbidity and mortality, associated with the high resistance to antimycotics of the agents etiological associated with this pathology. The antifungal activity of extracts of Alpinia zerumbet, vs. C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. krusei, Aspergillus fumigatus, A. terreus and Fusarium oxysporum was determined. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method and minimum inhibitory fungal concentration (CFI) based on NTC 2455 was used. As control sample, Fluconazole standard is considered and 96% Ethanol as a control. The alcoholic and hydroalcoholic extracts of the leaves and flowers affected good fungistatic and fungicidal activity when compared to the control and standard sample. It is concluded that the leaves compounds and flowers of A. zerumbet are promising for future research looking for compounds with antimicrobial activity for use in agriculture, food, and treatment of systemic mycosis.Item Actividad antimicrobiana de Fitocannabinoides como principios activos en plantas medicinales: Una revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Rivera Vargas, Maria Yuliel; Suarez Osorio, Liseth (Directora); Falco Restrepo, Aura Dayana (Directora)Phytochemical compounds have long been an alternative to traditional medicine, which is why the industrial sector is dedicated to the manufacture of products such as drugs, cosmetics and veterinary products, and have considered innovating their lines from raw materials derived from the extraction of active compounds from plants. In this way, plant material with various attributes or substances that are allowed and regulated by government entities for use and marketing has been sought. Due to the above, it was proposed to carry out this systematic review that aims to identify medicinal plants that contain phytocannabinoids and that have antimicrobial activity. The consulted databases corresponding to 83, of which documents dating from the years 2010 to 2022 were found, however, 24 were discarded, since they were related to clinical aspects of veterinary use and others due to the years of publication, the which are outside the range of the minimum 10 years to be taken into account for the development of the systemic review.Item Actividad enzimática de levaduras recolectadas de diferentes ambientes del Valle del Cauca(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2020) Olaya Hurtado, Dora Stefany; Ossa Cabra, Liseth Tatiana; Martínez Garay, Carlos Andrés (Director); Ramírez Castrillón, Mauricio (Director)Agro-industrial waste affects the environment, which makes it a current problem. A sustainable strategy is the use of microorganisms, such as yeast, to metabolize and to degrade these compounds, which will allow the development of bioremediation strategies. In this research, we tested yeasts from the mycoteca of Universidad Santiago de Cali, collected from different environments of Valle del Cauca, to determine their enzymatic activity. For this, they were grown in media with different substrates, to evaluate their ability to degrade them through the determination of an enzymatic coefficient (PZ), which takes into account the degradation halos formed. A total of 95 yeast strains were evaluated, of which 37 strains presented some enzymatic activity. Several strains showed potential in this field; the LN6A, P4, LC071A, YAM1, and YAM3 strains had the highest enzymatic activity; while some had the ability to degrade or metabolize two different substrates (LN4A, MRC33, LC112, P4, LN7C) or up to three types of substrate (MRC39). In addition to this, the LN4A strain, from the Navarro lagoon and identified as Candida tropicalis, presented a higher enzymatic activity in two types of substrate.Item Actividad enzimática de levaduras recolectadas en diferentes ambientes del Valle del Cauca(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2021) Ossa Cabra, Liseth Tatiana; Olaya Hurtado, Dora Stefany; Martínez Gara, Carlos Andrés (Director)Agro-industrial waste affects the environment, which makes it a current problem.

Because the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in chickens has contributed to the selection of resistant bacteria, it is necessary to implement natural alternatives that allow the control of bacterial populations in poultry farms, bacteriophages being a possible option due to their high specificity to infect bacteria. Using the double layer method, bacteriophages were found in an environmental sample of chicken manure from a poultry farm located in the municipality of Palmira, Valle del Cauca, capable of infecting a strain of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica ATCC 14028.Item Aislamiento y cuantificación de microorganismos nativos con capacidad celulolítica y amilolítica presentes en el bagazo y la cachaza empleados como materias primas utilizadas en la producción de abonos orgánicos, procedentes de un ingenio azucarero del Valle del Cauca(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Caicedo Grueso, Kelly Vanessa; Oviedo Mossos, Angela (Directora); Corredor Sáenz, Viviana (Directora)The study characterized the native microbial population with cellulolytic and amylolytic capacity present in bagasse and press mud, by-products of a sugar mill in Valle del Cauca for the production of organic fertilizers. To quantify the hydrolytic activity of the isolates present in bagasse and press mud, they were evaluated following the methods of Teather and Wood, as well as that of Lugol, using culture media with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and starch at 1% (w/v). The investigation revealed that the press mud harbors a greater microbial diversity, with a cellulolytic bacterial population (50%), while in the bagasse, cellulolytic bacteria (46%) predominated over amylolytic bacteria. Serial dilutions of 10-6 and 10-7 were optimal for the isolation of cellulolytic microorganisms in both substrates. In terms of enzymatic activity, bagasse showed higher amylolytic activity (7.70 Lg UCF/g), while press mud stood out in cellulolytic activity (7.70 Lg CFU/g). These findings contribute to the knowledge of the potential in the bioconversion of agroindustrial by-products for their use in the production of more efficient organic fertilizers.Item Aislamiento, identificación y caracterización de bacterias ácido acéticas (BAA) para la producción de vinagre a partir de vino tinto(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2021) Portilla Sinisterra, Andrés Fernando; Vera Lizcano, Omaira (Directora)Studies of the microorganisms associated with the fermentation processes, their identification and the standardization of their biotechnological use, are of great interest for the economic and technological growth of a country. In this study, a winemaking protocol was obtained to later produce vinegar for human consumption through acetic fermentation, which is carried out mainly by acetic bacteria under aerobic conditions. 10 batches of wine were produced from Isabella grapes, obtained in the municipality of Ginebra-Valle del Cauca, an alcohol percentage between 9,8 – 11,2% was reached, to later obtain acetic acid. The Orleans method was used to make vinegar, which consists of stationary oxidation of ethanol in acetic acid, under the conditions required for the growth of acetic bacteria, from which a concentration of acetic acid between 47,4 - 60 g / L. Subsequently, the bacteria of the Acetobacteraceae family were isolated by means of cutives and identified by means of biochemical techniques. Later, with the Vitek 2 team, the Acetobacter acetti species was identified as the acetic bacteria found in vinegar, it was cryopreserved. This microorganism can be used to produce balsamic vinegar, which is of great commercial interest.Item Análisis de cumplimiento y mejoras potenciales en cosméticos con cannabis o sus derivados en establecimientos farmacéuticos de Cali: Un enfoque en la decisión 833 de 2018(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Gutierrez Corral, Miguel Angel; Amaya Londoño, Nicolas Giuseppe; Chamorro Rengifo, Andrés Felipe (Director)Cannabis, a plant with a history spanning over 4000 years, has played a vital role in various cultures, from ancient China to pre-Columbian civilizations. Initially revered for its medicinal and spiritual properties, cannabis has faced stigmatization in the modern era due to political and social influences. However, in recent decades, it has experienced a resurgence in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields, supported by scientific evidence of its efficacy in treating various conditions. Cannabis regulation varies by country, ranging from legalization to prohibition. In the cosmetic realm, it has become a popular ingredient due to its moisturizing and antioxidant properties. However, lack of compliance with regulations can compromise consumer safety. Evaluating compliance of cannabis products at the regulatory level is necessary to protect the population from the use of illegal products that may jeopardize health. According to this study, which focused on evaluating compliance of cosmetic products with cannabis in the city of Cali with Decision 833 of 2018 (Colombian regulation?), surveys and pie charts were used to assess labeling and consumer safety compliance. The results indicate that a important proportion of respondents (35.7%) are unaware of the existence of Decision 833 of 2018, 50% do not verify or review mandatory health notifications, and 80,6% do not review mandatory warnings on labels. This demonstrates a lack of awareness regarding the importance of health registration and mandatory warnings on labels, raising concerns about consumer safety. Increasing transparency, education, and regulation in the industry is recommended to enhance consumer confidence and ensure product safety.Item Análisis de los factores que contribuyen a la persistencia de bacterias no detectables en el agua potable tratada: Revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Arango Jaramillo, Alejandra; Bautista Carrillo, Jonathan (Director)This monograph addressed the persistence of undetectable bacteria in treated drinking water, a problem that affects the quality of the resource and public health. The objective was to describe the factors contributing to this persistence through a systematic literature review using the PRISMA methodology. A search of five databases yielded 1300 documents, of which 34 were selected after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that biofilm formation, resistance to disinfectants, and the characteristics of the distribution infrastructure are determining factors in the survival of these microorganisms. Limitations in conventional treatment technologies were also identified, the effectiveness of which depends on the type of bacteria and their resistance mechanisms. It was concluded that a combination of microbiological, technological, and structural factors influences bacterial persistence, making it important to strengthen microbiological surveillance and optimize treatment processes to ensure drinking water qualityItem Análisis del impacto de la implementación de sistemas de distribución de medicamentos en dosis unitaria en entidades de salud de alta complejidad(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Ochoa Caicedo, Jorge Fernando; Valderrama Cuellar, William Alexander (Director)This study analyzed the impact of implementing Unit Dose Medication Distribution Systems (UDMDS) in high-complexity healthcare institutions in Colombia. Through a literature review and an analysis of local and international cases, the effects of these systems were evaluated in three key areas: patient safety, operational efficiency, and cost control. The findings show that UDMDS significantly reduces medication errors, optimizes logistical and administrative processes, and contributes to the financial sustainability of institutions by minimizing pharmaceutical waste. In Colombia, experiences from institutions such as Clínica Fundación Valle del Lili and Hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe demonstrate promising results, although regulatory gaps and challenges related to technological infrastructure and staff training remain obstacles to the widespread implementation of UDMDS in the country. This study highlights the need to develop specific strategies for the adoption and integration of UDMDS to enhance the quality of care and strengthen the Colombian healthcare system.Item Análisis del riesgo microbiológico asociado a coliformes fecales y Salmonella spp en el cultivo de rábano con aplicación de lodos residuales y biosólidos(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Peláez Giraldo, Angie Daniela; Agudelo Sánchez, Luis Eduardo; Cárdenas Talero, José Luis (Director)Domestic wastewater treatment plants generate by-products, including residual sludge and biosolids, which contain a large amount of organic matter and nutrients. This material is generally not utilized and is discarded without adding value, increasing its final disposal in landfills. Therefore, this research analyzed the microbiological risk associated with the use of residual sludge and biosolids applied to a radish crop (Raphanus sativus L.). Initial microbiological analyses (before treatment preparation) were conducted on the soil, sludge, and biosolids, as well as microbiological analyses of the treatments used at harvest, including the vegetable. The study was carried out using the most probable number (MPN) technique for the determination of fecal coliforms, based on Standard Methods, and the Colombian technical standard NTC 4574 was used to identify the presence of Salmonella spp. The results showed that the initial microbiological characteristics of biosolids A and B met the established regulations and could be used for the study. In the case of residual sludge, the microbial load was high because they are unstabilized by-products. However, microbiological results for the experimental treatments at the applied doses showed a significant decrease in microbial load for fecal coliforms and Salmonella spp. Nevertheless, radishes harvested from the different treatments, except for the treatment (T1: Soil-Biosolid A), presented high concentrations of fecal coliforms, making them unsuitable for consumption. The biosolids originated in the PTARca, when mixed with soil doses, generate a by-product with great potential for soil application, but it is not recommended to cultivate directly consumable foods as it was shown that microorganisms develop mechanisms to adhere to, survive, and multiply in the radish.Item Análisis del rol de los microorganismos en la transformación, degradación y biorremediación de compuestos organoclorados en ambientes acuáticos y suelos contaminados: Una revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Caicedo Artunduaga, Andres Felipe; Fernandez Daza, Fabian Felipe (Director)This systematic review evaluates the role of microorganisms in the transformation, degradation, and bioremediation of organochlorine compounds in aquatic environments and contaminated soils. A total of 25 scientific studies published between 2015 and 2025 were analyzed, covering regions such as India, China, Egypt, Spain, Italy, Colombia, Mexico, and Nigeria. The most prominent microorganisms include bacteria such as Pseudomonas, Dehalococcoides, Paenibacillus, Enterobacter; fungi such as Trametes versicolor and Penicillium crustosum; and microalgae such as Cystoseira spp. Under controlled conditions, removal rates above 90% were observed for pesticides such as DDT, lindane, diuron, 2,4- D, and PCP. Key mechanisms include dehalogenation, co-metabolism, aerobic oxidation, and complete mineralization. The effectiveness of these processes depends on factors such as pH, temperature, nutrient availability, and the type of microbial consortium. This review highlights the biotechnological potential of microorganisms in mitigating persistent pollutants, promoting ecological restoration and public health.Item Análisis electroquímico de vitamina B1 con un electrodo de carbono vitreo modificado con Ni (II)(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Barona Burbano, Bryan; Castro Narváez, Sandra Patricia (Directora)Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is an essential nutrient that can be acquired through food intake; however, its deficiency can lead to diseases, which makes it necessary to have reliable and sensitive analytical methods. This research work enabled the development of an electrochemical sensor based on a glassy carbon electrode (GC) modified with nickel ions (Ni²⁺) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), which was used solely as a binding agent to attach the Ni²⁺ compound to the GC, without analyzing its electrochemical effect in this study. Measurements were carried out in phosphate buffer at different pH values. The electrode modification resulted in an increase in peak current. Studies related to the variation of the scan rate showed a decrease in oxidation potential, an increase in the heterogeneous rate constant of the oxidative process, and an increase in the diffusion coefficient (1.93×10−6 cm2⋅s −1) which indicate catalytic synergy from Ni(II). Consecutive repeatability and reproducibility analyses yielded variation coefficients below 1.78% and recovery percentages above 98% in the presence of potential interfering species such as potassium, chloride, sodium, acetate, phosphate ions, and molecules such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose. A detection limit of 0.1 µM and a quantification limit of 0.34 µM were obtained. The analysis of commercial samples of injectable medications, tablets, and syrup showed recovery percentages above 96.8%. Altogether, the results confirm that the GC/Ni²⁺-PVP electrode is an efficient, stable, and low-cost alternative for the electrochemical determination of thiamine, with applicability in the quality control of pharmaceutical products.Item Análisis estructural y supramolecular del compuesto (E)-3',6'-dihidroxi-2-((pyridina-2-yl metileno) amino) spiro[isoidolina-1,9'-xanteno]-3-ona(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Cardona Restrepo, Camila; D'vries Arturo, Richard Fernando (Director); Rojas Álvarez, Oscar Eduardo (Director)The crystalline structure of the compound (E) -3 ',6'-dihydroxy-2-((pyridine-2-and methylene) amino) spiro [iso-idoline-1,9'-xanthene] -3-one was solved and refined, using single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It was found that the compound crystallized in the triclinic P-1 space group. its unit cell present two molecules per asymmetric unit, which correspond to molecular conformers. Moreover, an analysis to determine the intermolecular interactions from the crystalline system was performed. It was observed that the crystal packing is formed mainly by hydrogen interactions type O-H••• N, and C-H•••O. Finally, the supramolecular interactions of the dimer were quantified using fingerprint plots, obtaining values of 41.4%, 12.9%, 11.1% and 10.4% for interactions type H•••H, C•••H, O•••H, H•••C respectively. The aforementioned diagrams were compared with the obtained for structurally similar molecules; their forms confirmed the differences at the supramolecular level of the compounds analyzed. With this project, it was possible to determine the structural and supramolecular characteristics of the compound. In addition, were acquired the basic concepts related to crystallography and supramolecular chemistry, both at a theoretical and experimental level.Item Análisis metataxonómico de suelos de cultivos de yuca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) con síntomas de cuero de sapo(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Díaz Marín, Valentina; Ocampo Ibáñez, Iván Darío (Director)“Frogskin disease” mainly affects the roots of cassava and generates symptoms that deteriorate large quantities of crops. The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) in Colombia has been studying this disease in cassava crops for approximately 50 years and has proposed some associated pathogens, however, the causal agent is still unknown. Therefore, in the present study, a meta-taxonomic analysis of the bacteria and fungi that are present in soils of cassava crops with symptoms of the “Frogskin disease” disease was carried out to find the possible causal agents. For this, a metataxonomic analysis was carried out, using Illumina Miseq sequencing, to obtain fungal ITS and bacterial 16S sequences. Bacteria belonging to the phyla Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were obtained; mainly the genera Pantoea, Enterobacter, Bacillus, and Rhizobium. The phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were the most abundant in the fungal ITS communities; represented by the genera Fusarium, Aspergillus, and Alternaria. The analysis of alpha and beta diversity using the Miseq sequencing platform revealed through a one-way ANOVA and a PERMANOVA that there were significant differences in composition at the genus level in soils with disease symptoms and control soils. This study provided useful information on the microbiome present in the rhizosphere and roots of resistant plants infected with “Frogskin disease” symptoms.Item Análisis molecular del endosimbionte wolbachia spp en la microfolariasis canina por acanthocheilonema reconditum(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2021) Rincón Hurtado, Reinel German; Garcia Moreno, Pamela (Directora)Microfilariae are a group of nematodes whose main host is the dog and, to a lesser extent, the human. These filariae are transmitted through mosquitoes of the following genera: Culex, Anopheles and Aedes, as well as fleas, lice, among other vectors, depending on the species of the nematode. Regarding A. reconditum, it is an occasional zoonotic pathogen that affects subcutaneous tissue and perirenal fat; causing common but clinically less important infections in dogs. On the other hand, there are other filariae such as D. immitis; which causes the pathology known as heartworm. A disease that on many occasions can be fatal for the canine that harbors it. The main characteristic of these nematodes is their endosymbiotic relationship with the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia spp, which is essential for the development and fertility of the nematodes. On A. reconditum there is little scientific literature in the world, given its limited distribution. This parasite is of great interest at the local level, since in a recent study carried out at the Santiago de Cali University, by the GIMIA research group, it has been found as a causal agent of microfilariasis in an outbreak detected in Cali since 2016, which The clinical manifestations mainly include anemia. The objective of the present study was to molecularly characterize the endosymbiont Wolbachia spp, and evaluate the formation of Wolbachia spp with A. reconditum in a cohort of dogs with microfilariae and their possible vectors at the local level. For this, the amplification of the Wolbachia gene (rrs) by conventional PCR and the ftsZ gene by nested PCR was implemented. As a result, it was obtained that none of the samples obtained from canines infected with A. reconditum were positive for Wolbachia (0/82), while these two molecular tests were positive in the different arthropods evaluated (100%). In conclusion, it was possible to standardize and establish the methods of the diagnostic techniques for the endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia spp. On the other hand, standardized molecular techniques, the ftsZ-based method, was the most effective for the identification of Wolbachia in DNA samples positive for canine microfilariasis compared to the rrs-based method.Item Análisis sensorial aplicado a productos alimenticios a base de avena y sus derivados: Una revisión Sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2021) Arias Cerón, Arlex; Méndez Gómez, Gloria Sthefani; Ramírez Navas, Juan Sebastián (Director)In this systematic review intervention type, an exhaustive investigation of published studies, books and documents about Sensory Analysis applied to healthy oat-based foods is carried out, selection criteria were applied to identify relevant evidence, filter, classify and compare sensory techniques, determine the most widely applied technique in this type of food, according to the ideal studies compiled, it is found that 61% apply the affective sensory analysis technique, above the discriminative and descriptive techniques; which indicates that for healthy oat-based foods, the main requirement in the studies was to identify the acceptance of the product, this technique being the most frequent.Item Aplicación de la ecuación de Schrödinger en el estudio del movimiento de moléculas diatómicas(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Bueno Barbosa, Douglas Andrés; Parada Valencia, Alexander (Director)Understanding the physiochemical phenomenon at the subatomic level is very important in order to know the behaviour of the matter these energy scales. It is necessary to use the Schrödinger equation in the order to describe chemical and physically the molecules. Throughout of the development of this work, we addressed the study of the Schrödinger equation and applications in the movement of diatomic molecules. The interaction potential is described by this equation, as well as the translational, rotational and vibrational energies of each molecule. Likewise, the Hamiltonian is studied in a general way, and particularly for the hydrogen molecule. We learned the main knowledge relating with Quantum Chemical and after that we focus in the study of some diatomic molecules no studied in the literature until now. Then, a phenomenological study was carried out for the BrCl molecule.Item Aplicación de la espectroscopia de infrarrojo cercano (NIRS) en productos cárnicos(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Rosero Martínez, José Miguel; Castro Narváez, Sandra Patricia (Director)An approximation is made to near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a tool for evaluating the quality and authenticity of meat products. Given the growing demand for organic meat products and the need to guarantee their integrity, NIRS stands out as an effective alternative to traditional methods. The methodology employed included literature review, data analysis and method comparison, highlighting the importance of developing more robust calibration and standardization techniques. Quality parameters that NIRS can assess, such as moisture, fat, protein, color and pH, were identified, demonstrating its ability to provide rapid and non-destructive results. Comparison between NIRS and traditional techniques such as proximate analysis revealed that NIRS offers significant advantages in terms of speed and reduced need for sample preparation. However, limitations have been identified, including the need for specific calibrations for each type of meat and the dependence on the quality of the equipment used. Recommendations include advancing the development of calibration techniques and exploring the integration of NIRS technology in real-time computing environments.
