POTENSI AKTIVITAS ANTIBAKTERI EKSTRAK DIKLOROMETANA DAN METANOL BUNGA TEROMPET EMAS (Allamanda cathartica L.) TERHADAP BAKTERI Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923

Abstract

Potential antibacterial activity of dichloromethane and methanol extracts of the golden trumpet flower (A.
cathartica L.) against S. aureus ATCC 25923 has been conducted. This study aimed to determine the values of the
dichloromethane and methanol extracts of A. cathartica L. The antibacterial activity test was conducted using agar
diffusion method and carried out in triplicate. The obtained results from the dichloromethane extract and methanol extract
of the golden trumpet flower (A. cathartica L.) showed antibacterial activity with inhibition zone diameters of 9.66 mm
for dichloromethane extracts and 8.66 mm for methanol extracts against S. aureus ATCC 25923 bacteria.
