Abstract

Skin infections caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis are a growing global health concern, exacerbated by increasing antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii Blume) ethanol extract as a natural alternative. A true experimental design with a post-test only control group was used. The population consisted of Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria, and a total of 25 samples were assigned to five groups, including three extract concentrations (25%, 50%, and 75%), a clindamycin positive control, and a DMSO negative control. Antibacterial activity was tested using the disk diffusion method, and data were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed that cinnamon extract effectively inhibited bacterial growth, with the 75% concentration producing the largest average inhibition zone (13.76 mm). While the extract's efficacy was lower than that of clindamycin (16.66 mm), its potential as a natural antibacterial agent is significant. The findings suggest that cinnamon extract can be developed into a topical treatment for skin infections.

Abstract

Typhoid fever, caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi, remains a prevalent infectious disease with increasing antibiotic resistance posing a significant global health threat. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro antibacterial effectiveness of an ethanol extract from cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum burmannii) as a potential natural therapeutic alternative. The research employed a true experimental design with a post-test only control group. A pure culture of Salmonella Typhi was used as the sample. The cinnamon extract was prepared via maceration, and its antibacterial activity was evaluated using the standard Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The inhibition zone diameters were measured and analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests, including Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. The results demonstrated that all concentrations (60%, 80%, and 100%) of the cinnamon extract exhibited strong antibacterial activity, with a dose-dependent inhibitory effect. Notably, the 100% extract concentration produced an inhibition zone diameter (15.57 mm) comparable to the positive control, chloramphenicol (15.66 mm). This study concludes that the ethanol extract of Cinnamomum burmannii is an effective antibacterial agent against Salmonella Typhi, providing a promising basis for developing natural therapies.
