Uji Ekstrak Tumbuhan Sirih Cina (Peperomia pellucida L.) sebagai Antibakteri terhadap Bakteri Staphylococcus aureus dan Staphylococcus epidermidis

Abstract

Sirih china (Peperomia pellucida L.) is herbaceous plant, member of Piperaceae. The plant contained alkaloid, flavonoid and tannin that were able to prevents bacteria growth such as Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, E. coli. The plant was traditionally used for treating diseases such as an infection, antiimflamasi and antibacterial. The objective of this experiment was to determine any antibacterial in the plant extract toward Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis and to determines the most effective concentration to inhibit the growth of the bacteria. This research used completely randomized design (CRD). The concentration treatments were 0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 % with 4 replications. The results show that plant extract have no antibacterial effect toward Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.
