Penggunaan bahan alam semakin meningkat dan masih menjadi andalan di beberapa negara berkembang. Penelitian kali ini menggunakan ekstrak etanol dari herba Phyllanthus niruri Linn. Dalam usaha menghambat pertumbuhan Staphylococcus aureus. S. aureus merupakan salah satu mikroflora normal di wajah yang berperan dalam infeksi jerawat. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan 7 perlakuan dan 5 ulangan. Perlakuan yang digunakan adalah pemberian ekstrak etanol herba P. niruri Linn. untuk konsentrasi 5%; 25%; 50%; 75%; 100%, pengenceran menggunakan pelarut DMSO 10%. Kontrol positif menggunakan ciprofloxacin, sedangkan kontrol negatif menggunakan DMSO 10%. Zona hambat yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan uji Kolmogorov–Smirnov dan uji homogenitas Levene. Apabila variansi data homogen, maka dilanjutkan analisis dengan Anova yang dilanjutkan dengan uji Post Hoc. Dari perhitungan kontrol negatif, variasi konsentrasi (5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) dan kontrol positif diperoleh rata-rata zona radikal berturut sebesar 6 mm; 7,46 mm; 7,52 mm; 7,6 mm; 8,52 mm; 8,98 mm; 31,08 mm. Semua variasi konsentrasi ekstrak etanol herba P. niruri Linn. mampu menghasilkan zona hambat radikal dengan zona hambat terbesar tetap dijumpai pada kontrol positif. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi ekstrak etanol herba P. niruri Linn. yang semakin besar akan berbanding lurus dengan peningkatan aktivitas penghambatan, namun belum seoptimum kontrol positif.   The use of natural materials is increasing and is still a mainstay in several developing countries. This research was used ethanol extract from herb Phyllanthus niruri Linn. in an effort to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. S. aureus is one of the normal microflora on the face that helps infection. This research is an experimental study used a completely randomized design with 7 preparations and 5 replications. The treatment used ethanol extract of P. niruri Linn herb. for a concentration of 5%; 25%; 50%; 75%; 100%, the dilution used 10% DMSO solvent. Positive controls used ciprofloxacin, while negative controls used DMSO 10%. The inhibition zone obtained was analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Levene homogeneity test. If the data variance is homogeneous, then the analysis is continued with ANOVA followed by the Post Hoc test. From the calculation of negative controls, various concentration (5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) and positive controls obtained an average radical zone of 6 mm; 7.46 mm; 7.52 mm; 7.6 mm; 8.52 mm; 8.98 mm; 31.08 mm. All variations in the concentration of ethanol extract of P. niruri Linn. herbs able to produce a radical inhibition zone with the largest inhibition zone still found in positive controls. This showed that the greater concentration of ethanol extract of P. niruri Linn. herb. will be directly proportional to the increase in inhibition activity, but not optimal as much as positive control.

Mekai leaves (Pycnarrhena cauliflora Diels.) (P. cauliflora). Are known to contain flavonoid compounds, tannins and phenolics that act as antibacterial agents and are used in the treatment of eye pain. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the examples of bacterial diseases of eye pain and also a major cause of many infections in communities and health facilities with cases of resistance to various antimicrobial agents. The purpose of this study was to prove the antibacterial activity of mekai leaves ethanol extract against S. aureus bacteria. This research is an experimental research. The stages of this research began by extracting mekai leaves using maceration method with 96% ethanol solvent. Antibacterial activity was tested by the disc method (Kirby-Bauer) using ethanol extract concentrations of mekai leaves (EPC) 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80%, positive control using 25 μg amoxicillin and negative control using DMSO 10%. The measurement results of inhibition zones of mekai leaf ethanol extract 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% and 80% respectively were 8.32 mm, 8.32 mm, 8.32 mm, 8.67 mm, 9.00 mm, 8.67 mm, and 8.33 mm. While the positive control measurement of 25 μg amoxicillin against S. aureus is 28.67 mm and the measurement of 10% negative DMSO control does not produce inhibitory zones, so it can be concluded that the ethanol extract of mekai leaves has antibacterial activity, but the area of ​​inhibition zone produced is smaller than amoxicillin 25 µg. The results of statistical tests using Mann Whitney between negative controls with all EPC concentrations obtained significant differences with p values ​​<0.05, it can be concluded that there is antibacterial activity produced at all EPC concentrations.

The aim of this study are to investigate phytochemical components and inhibition effect Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 using dry ethanol extract of betel nuts at concentrations 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% in vitro. Method: Antibacterial sensitivity tests against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 were performed using dry ethanol extract of betel nuts (Areca catechu. L) with various concentrations on each group. Group I is treated nut with a concentration of 20%, Group II with a concentration of 30%, Group III with a concentration of 40%, Group IV with a concentration of 50%, the group V as a negative control (distilled) and group VI as a positive control that was given amoxicillin clavulanate 30μg. Then the inhibitory effects of these treatments are measeure and classified by the Davis and Stout classification in 1971. The data analysis began with Saphiro Wilk test and then with levent test statistic. Because distributed data is not normal, the analysis continued with Kruskal Wallis test and Post Hoc test. Results: Results of this study showed that the ethanol extract of betel nuts can inhibit the growth of S. aureus, which is a concentration of 20% with a diameter of 13,63mm, concentration of 30% with a diameter of 15mm, concentration of 40% with a diameter of 15,5mm, concentration of 50% with a diameter of 14,7mm compared to the positive control 30μg amoxicillin clavulanate in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus with a diameter of 34,25mm.

Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogenic bacterium that spread throughout the world and still a problem that continues to increase both in hospitals and the community. Infections due to S. aureus usually treated with antibiotics, but in some cases, several strains of S. aureus found to be resistant to antibiotics, such as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Based on the previous research, the ethanol extract from Ajwa and Sukkari dates formed an inhibitory zone against the MRSA bacteria growth. This study aims to determine the inhibition of the ethanol extract from Ajwa and Sukkari variety of dates (Phoenix dactylifera L.) on the S. aureus growth. The ethanol extract from Ajwa and Sukkari dates with a concentration of 5 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, 15 mg/mL, and 20 mg/mL resulted in the same inhibition zone with a diameter of ≤ 6 mm which categorized as weak (resistant), whereas the positive control ciprofloxacin had a resistance zone with a diameter of 9 mm. This study results concluded that the ethanol extract of Ajwa and Sukkari dates only has a maximum concentration of 20 mg/mL, which is still classified as a low concentration and has not been able to inhibit MRSA bacteria growth.

Writing the results of the study was conducted to assess the effectiveness comparison of the ethanol extract of basil leaves with garlic with a concentration of 5%, 10%, 15% of each extract against the growing power of the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are gram-positive, cocci-shaped bacteria that live in colonies. These bacteria are normal flora in the human body that can harm humans. This study uses an experimental method with a post-test only design and the sample collection uses purposive sampling. The effectiveness test was carried out using the disk diffusion method, where the paper disc would be moistened with basil leaves ethanol extract of each concentration, is 5%, 10%, 15% and so was the ethanol extract of garlic. The results of the data obtained from this study continued with the Oneway-Anova test which will be continued with the Post-Hoc test, wherein the test there were significant differences from each treatment given. In bacteria treated with ethanol extract 15% basil leaves against Staphylococcus bacteria aureus, the effectiveness of the inhibition zone was found to be 9.2 mm in diameter where the inhibition zone was below the ethanol extract of 15% garlic which was 22.8 mm. Ethanol extract of 15% garlic has a good antimicrobial effect compared with ethanol extract of basil leaves 15% against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.
