Daftar Isi:
- Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria known as a major cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infection in humans as well as clinical, subclinical and chronic mastitis in dairy cattles. The increasing incidence of infection by S. aureus, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) requires new strategies to prevent the incidence of infection in a broader scale that compounded with the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to determine the potential of parasite tea extract (Scurrula atropupurea) as antibacterial methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using in-vitro test. In-vitro test was performed by the agar diffusion method using Muller-Hinton (MH) agar that had been inoculated with S. aureus. Paper disc contained of methicillin and erythromycin 5 Î1⁄4g and 15 Î1⁄4g were used as control discs of antibiotic. Blank paper discs that contained of parasite tea extract with the concentration of 5%, 10%, 20% and 40% were used as an antibacterial substance. The test result showed that S. aureus was resistant to methicillin and erythromycin. Parasite tea extract with the concentration of 5%, 10%, 20% and 40% could inhibit the growth of S. aureus with inhibition zone exceeds the standard of antibacterial zone for herb (â�¥ 5.62 mm). Based on the results of this study could be concluded that the parasite tea extract could inhibit the growth of methicillin-resistant S. aureus.
