Antibacterial activities of moringa olifiera freeze dried extract on staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the antibacterial activities of M. oleifera freeze dried extract on Staphylococcus aureus. Material and Methods: The antibacterial activities using two methods, microdilution method and agar diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration is determined. The measurement of absorbance in microdilution method using a spectrophotometer at length wave 590 nm. The inhibition zone is measured using scalimeter. Results:The results showed both microdilution method and agar diffusion method present the inhibition activity of M. oleifera freeze dried extract on staphylococcus aureus. Conclusion:The finding confirmed M. oleifera freeze dried extract as the promising antibacterial natural agent, particularly on inhibiting S. aureus strain.

“…(Jiménez et al, 2022) Freeze dried extract of M. oleifera from Padang (Indonesia) also shown antibiotic effect against Staphylococcus aureus. (Angestia et al, 2020) Study of M. oleifera leaf extracts against bacteria isolated from patients in Damaturu hospital (Nigeria) showed antibiotic effect against E. coli, Shigella spp, Salmonella typhi, E. faecalis and S. aureus. (Abadallah & Ali, 2019) Study on Piper betle leaf from various places Nganjuk, Sidoarjo and Batu (Indonesia) showed that ethanol extract may inhibit E. coli, Salmonella sp., S. aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.…”
