POTENSI ANTIBAKTERI BEBERAPA TUMBUHAN OBAT TRADISIONAL
ABSTRACT: The research of
antibacterial ability from Anacardium occidentale (Anacardiaceae), Lawsonia
inermis (Lythraceae), Averrhoa bilimbi, Averrhoa carambola (Oxalidaceae),
Capsicum frutescens and Solanum torvum (Solanaceae) to Escherichia coli ATCC
25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC
29213 was done from Mei until November 2010 at Microbiology laboratory, Natural
Science, Syiah Kuala University. Leave and barks extracts of plant was soluted
using n-Hexane solution. Antibacterial activities was tested by using diffusion
method with each concentrations 10%, 20%, and 30%. The result showed that
plants leaves and barks had ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213. The largest of inhibition
zone was formed by L. inermis leaves extract in 6 mm. Meanwhile C. frutescens
barks extract was showed inhibition zone in 5 mm.
