Disease motile aeromonas septicemia (MAS) caused by the bacterium A. hydhrophilla, is a disease that can affect all species of freshwater fish in the tropics. The use of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial diseases have long been used, but the use of antibiotics that are not controlled pathogens causing bacterial resistance. The purpose of this study to determine the effect and the optimum concentration of the mahkota dewa leaf extract against bacteria A. hydhrophilla. The treatment in this study was the addition of the mahkota dewa leaf extract and DMSO with a variant concentration of 100 mg, 140 mg, 180 mg, 220 mg, 260 mg, positive control using antibiotics chloramphenicol and negative controls using DMSO. Research of mahkota dewa leaf extracts to inhibit the growth of Aeromonas hydrhopilla. This is indicated resources by the formation of an inhibition zone at all concentrations. The formation of inhibition zone of the mahkota dewa against A. hydhrophilla leaf extract shows that the mahkota dewa leaf extract can inhibit the growth of bacteria.
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.
