Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the bacteria that cause infectious diseases. Some cases were found to be antibiotic-resistant. That is why the development of natural antibiotics is necessary. The objectives of this study are to determine the effect of an antibacterial test from ethanol extract of pomegranate peel and lemongrass stalk, and its combination against the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. The Activities of antibacterial determined by using the method of microdilution to get value Concentration Inhibitory Minimum (MIC) and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC), and diffusion methods to determine diameter of inhibition zone of each extract against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. Diffusion methods to test the extract combination using paper tape. The study results showed that the extract has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, the lowest value of the MIC found in ethanol extract of pomegranate peel. The combination of the extract against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 is additive. It can be concluded that each extract the effect of antibacterial against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, the use of extract combination were additive.
