Infection is the most common disease in Indonesia. Infection diseases are caused by microorganisms such as the Staphylococcus aureus. While in fact, many plants can be used as traditional medicine, one of those is the leaves of belimbing wuluh tree (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) This study aims to determine the inhibitory power of leaves of Cucumber tree (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) on growth of Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. This study used an experimental method. The technique used to measure antibiotic activity is the method of disk diffusion and continued by Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test. Leaves of belimbing wuluh tree (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) at concentrations of 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%, amoksisilin, and aquabidest resulted in average diameter of clear zone. leaves of belimbing wuluh tree (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) have an inhibitory power against Staphylococcus aureus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
