POTENSI EKSTRAK DAUN TANAMAN KARAMUNTING (Melastoma malabathricum L.) DI DAERAH KALIMANTAN SEBAGAI ANTIBAKTERI Staphylococcus aureus
Abstract: The year 2008
recorded the death toll reached 16,769 soul due to infection. Infection is one
of the diseases caused by bacteria or parasites. Staphylococcus aureus is one
of the bacteria causes infection of the skin that is often the case in
Indonesia. Staphylococcus aureus bacterial infection can be treated naturally,
one of the plants that can be utilized is plant karamunting. Plant leaf
karamunting (Melastoma malabathricum l.) contain flavonoids and alkaloids that
have activity as antibacterial. The purpose of this research is to know the
power of drag karamunting folium of extract against the growth of
Staphylococcus aureus. In vitro studies were conducted with diffusion agar
method. The extraction of leaf maceration method done with karamunting solvent
ethanol 96%. Concentration of karamunting folium of extract used are: 25%, 50%,
75%, and 100%. Microbiology research results indicate that karamunting folium
of extract have drag against the growth of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus with
extract concentration 50% yield of 5.34 mm; the concentration of extract 75% of
9.40 mm; the concentration of extract 100% of 12.43 mm.
