Aktivitas Antibakteri Ekstrak Etanol Daun Gamal (Gliricidia sepium) pada Berbagai Konsentrasi terhadap Pertumbuhan Bakteri Streptococcus mutans secara In-Vitro

Abstract: Antibacterial Activity of The Gamal Leaf (Gliricidia sepium) Ethanol Extract on the Growth of Streptococcus mutans. Streptococcus mutans is a positive gram bacteria which cause dental caries. From the several previous studies, Gamal leaf has been predicted as the antibacterial agent because of their active substance such as tannins, alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids. The objective of the study was to know the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of Gamal leaf (Gliricidia sepium) for Streptococcus mutans… Show more

“…The mechanism of flavonoids in inhibiting nucleic acids is carried out through ring B on flavonoids which have an important role in the intercalation process or hydrogen bonding by accumulating nucleic acid bases that inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis which results in the destruction of lysosomes and bacterial microsomes. 16,17 This study is supported by a study by Pertiwi et al (2019) about the extract of the leaves of the kelakai can inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria, namely Streptococcus sanguinis. Grampositive bacteria have a cell wall structure consisting of less lipids, more peptidoglycan and contain polysaccharides (teichotic acid).…”

“…The first active substances that will work against Streptococcus mutans bacteria are alkaloids, tannins and saponins which will disrupt the outermost layer of bacteria, namely the peptidoglycan wall. 16 Peptidoglycan is a component of the cell wall of Streptococcus mutans bacteria so that the presence of this disorder will result in the cell wall layer being not fully formed and causing bacterial cell death. 17 The mechanism of action of tannins as antibacterial against Streptococcus mutans bacteria is by interfering with the synthesis of peptidoglycan compounds in bacteria.…”
