Background: The current type of nanoparticle that attracts a lot of attention in the pharmaceutical field is Nanosilver because it can act as an antimicrobial. Objective: The aim of this study was to obtain the Nanosilver gel preparation from katuk leaf extract, which is effective as an antibacterial agent against acne. Methods: Katuk leaf extract remains as a reducing agent in the synthesis of Nanosilver using a green synthesis method. Nanosilver characterization was performed using PSA, FTIR and TEM. Results: Particle size of Nanosilver (Katuk leaf extract concentration 0.16% with a silver nitrate volume of 10 mM is 1: 9) of 164.40 nm, Nanosilver (Katuk leaf extract Concentration 0.32% with silver nitrate volume 10 mM is 1: 9) of 176.47 nm and Nanosilver (0.48% katuk leaf extract concentration with a volume of 10 mM silver nitrate of 1: 9) of 194.95 nm. Antibacterial activity using the Well method was shown that the nanosilver gel from Katuk leaf extract had an inhibitory effect on P. acnes bacteria with an inhibition zone of 26 mm  classified as very strong, and 12 mm was strongly categorized against S. aureus bacteria, namely in Formula 1. Conclusion: A variation in the concentration of katuk leaf extract influences the size of the particles formed. the Nanosilver katuk leaf extract has an antibacterial cause for acne with a very strong category.

The purpose of this research is to test the resisting potency of patikan kerbau leaf extract against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923) dan Escherichia coli (ATCC11229). This was an experimental laboratory study using modified Kirby-Bauer with well diffusion technique at Research and Microbiology Laboratory of MIPA Faculty, Sam Ratulangi University Manado. Patikan kerbau leaf extract was obtained by using 96% etanol maceration. Extract concentrations used in this study were 50 mg/ml, 25 mg/ml, 12.5 mg/ml and 6.25 mg/ml. Ciprofloxacin was used as the positive control and CMC as the negative control. The CMC showed no inhibition zone. Ciprofloxacin had the widest zone of inhibition. The average of inhibition zone diameters produced by ciprofloxacin was 33,3 mm on S. aureus and 33 mm on E.coli. Euphorbia hirta leaf extract concentration of 50 mg/ml resulted in average inhibition zone diameter of 18.83 mm on S.aureus and 17.83 mm on E.coli. Extract concentration of 25 mg/ml resulted in 17.33 mm on S. aureus and 16.83 mm on E.coli. Extract concentration of 12,5 mg/ml resulted in 15.5 mm on S. aureus and 14.83 mm on E.coli. Then, extract concentration of 6.25 mg/ml resulted in 15.16 mm on S. aureus and 13.3 mm on E.coli.

Introduction: Endodontic treatment failure can be caused by the bacterium E. faecalis, which has a prevalence of up to 90%. E. faecalis is difficult to eradicate because it forms a biofilm to defend itself against antibacterial agents. Lime leaves are one of the many herbal products available in Indonesia (Citrus hystrix DC). Lime leaf extracts include antibacterial components such as essential oils, phenolics, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of lime leaf extract against E. faecalis bacterium. Material and Methods:The agar diffusion technique was used for four experimental groups, using lime leaf extract at 4% (group 1), 8% (group 2), and 16% (group 3) as the negative control. Each group was repeated six times on Muller Hinton Agar (MHA) medium with a paper disc, and the diameter of the inhibitory zone was measured with a caliper. Results and Discussions: The results revealed that a 4 % concentration of lime leaf extract had an average inhibition zone diameter of 7.31 mm, an 8 % concentration had an average inhibition zone diameter of 8.59 mm, and a 16 % concentration had an average inhibition zone diameter of 11.41 mm. The difference in the inhibition zone was statistically significant (p= 0,000) evaluated using the one-way ANOVA. Conclusion: It can be concluded that lime leaf extract is antibacterial potential against E. faecalis bacteria in the endodontic treatment.

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is one of the traditional medicines which has an antibacterial efficacy compound namely Allisin which is able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. This study aims to formulate the garlic bulb extract into a good gel preparation for use as an acne drug and to determine the antibacterial effectiveness of the ethanol extract of garlic gel against the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus using the wells method. The gel evaluation was carried out to meet the requirements with organoleptic test parameters, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesion and irritation test. This study uses extracts of 10% and 20% concentrations, at each concentration being able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. In the formula, the concentration of 20% has a inhibition zone diameter of 1.59 cm and a concentration of 10% has a inhibition of 1.50 cm. Statistical test results using the One Way ANOVA test found that there was no significant difference between the average diameter of inhibition of garlic extract gel concentration of 10% with a concentration of 20%.

Abstract: Candida albicans is a normal flora of the mouth, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract and the female genital but it becomes pathogen if there is a predisposing factor. Approximately 85-95% of oral candida infections are caused by C. albicans that is usually attached to the labial mucosa, buccal mucosa, the dorsal parts of the tongue and palate. Noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) is already known as a medical plant; one of it parts that has a medicinal effect is the leaf that contains anthraquinon as an antifungal. This study was aimed to determine the effect of noni leaf extract to the growth of C. albicans. This was a true experimental in vitro study with the post test only group design. The Kirby-Bauer method with filter paper was used to evaluate the sensitivity of C. albicans to mengkudu leaf extract. Leaves samples were extracted by using maceration process with ethanol 96%. C. albicans obtained from the pure stock of Laboratory of Microbiology Pharmacy Faculty of Math and Science, University of Sam Ratulangi. The results showed that the inhibition zone diameter of noni leaf extract on the growth of C. albicans was 16 mm (strong inhibition category). Conclusion: Noni leaf extract (Morinda citrifolia L.) had an inhibitory effect on Candida albicans.Keywords: Mengkudu leaf (Morinda citrifolia L.), Candida albicans, inhibition zone Abstrak: Candida albicans merupakan anggota flora normal rongga mulut, saluran pernafasan, saluran pencernaan, dan genital wanita namun dapat menjadi patogen jika terdapat faktor predisposisi.
