Antibacterial Activity Of Beluntas (Pluchea Indica L.) Extract To Vibrio Cholerae And Shigella Dysenteriae Bacteria

Beluntas (Pluchea indica) is plant applied traditional medical and fresh vegetabel. Reported essential oils consisting in beluntas to have good antimicrobial activity. Some researchs about antimicrobial activity test from beluntas to some bacteriums has been done. But, have never been reported about examination of activity antibacteria from beluntas to bacteriums cause of diarrhea. This research done to know activity antibacteria, determines Minimum Inhibitory Concentration ( MIC) beluntas ethanol extract to two bacterium caused diarrhea are always make epidemy at tropical place, has reprasentative by Vibrio cholera and Shigella dysenteriae and value compares its the antibacteria activity with tetrasiklin antibiotic. Result of research indicates that to the same concentration of beluntas ethanol extract is shown the biggest activity to bacterium Vibrio cholera. MIC obtained is as follows : to Staphylococcus, Vibrio cholera residing in between concentration 2% – 3% and Shigella dysenteriae residing in between concentration of 65% – 66%. Value compares activity antibacteria ethanol extract to tetracyclin antibiotic at bacterium caused diarrhea is 1: 1,13 -6.
