Abstract: Srikaya leaf contains terpenoid, polyphenol, alkaloid, and flavonoid that can potentially be an antibacterial. This study was aimed to obtain the potency of srikaya leaf extract against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923) and Escherichia coli (ATCC11229). This was an experimental laboratory study using the Kirby-Bauer modified well diffusion technique in the Phytochemistry and Microbiology Laboratory of MIPA Faculty at Sam Ratulangi University. Srikaya leaf extract was obtained by using ethanol maceration technique. The concentrations of the extract were as follows: 50%, 25%, and 12.5%. Ciprofloxacin was used as the positive control while CMC as the negative one. The results showed that CMC did not have any inhibition zone around the well. Ciprofloxacin showed the largest mean diameters of inhibition zones: 35.78 mm against E.coli and 36.55 mm against S.aureus. The mean diameters of inhibition zones of Srikaya leaf extract 50% were 9.13 mm against E.coli and 13.78 mm against S.aureus. The mean diameters of inhibition zones of Srikaya leaf extract 25% were 7.8 mm against E.coli and 13.55 mm agaisnt S.aureus. Meanwhile, the mean diameters of inhibition zones of srikaya leaf extract 12.5% were 7.05 mm against E.coli and 11.31mm agaimst S.aureus.

The antibacterial activity of functionalized zeolite NaY (CBV100) with different concentrations of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) (0.01, 0.05, 0.20 and 0.40 M) was studied against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 (Gram positive) and Escherichia coli ATCC 11229 (Gram negative) through disc diffusion technique (DDT). The characterization of functionalized zeolite NaY with fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicated the attachment of APTES on zeolite NaY. Through DDT, the inhibition zone of functionalized zeolite NaY increased proportionally to the amount of the amine-functional group attached onto zeolite NaY. Functionalized zeolite NaY showed higher antibacterial activity against Gram-positive compared to Gram-negative bacteria. It can be concluded from this study that amine-functionalized zeolite NaY shows evidence of antibacterial activities.

Eighteen extracts of spices commonly consumed worldwide and grown naturally in Turkey were tested against twenty three bacterial strains to compare their antibacterial effects with eleven antibiotics. Eight pathogens and fifteen lactobacilli isolated from chick intestine were used as the test microorganisms. Pathogens (six different Staphylococcus aureus strains, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Yersinia enterocolitica ATCC 1501) were grown in Nutrient broth and lactobacilli in MRS broth. Hop extracts formed inhibition zones against S. aureus strains of upto 36 mm. Inhibitory effects of hop extracts against S. aureuswere generally higher than that of erythromycin as antibiotic. Helichrysum compactum extract produced an inhibition zone of 23mm to E. coli ATCC 25922 and 26mm to Y. enterocolitica ATCC 1501. Helichrysum compactum extract inhibited the growth of Y. enterocolitica ATCC 1501 more than other spice extracts. While inhibition zones of these extracts against lactobacilli were found smaller than on S. aureus strains, inhibition zones of the same extracts against lactobacilli were found similar to those of E. coli ATCC 25922 and Y. enterocolitica ATCC 1501.
