Abstract

The absence of environmental sanitation can influence the transmission of infectious diseases, exemplified as toilets tainted with dangerous microbes. Prevention typically employs disinfectants; nevertheless, their adverse effects might lead to skin and respiratory discomfort. Flavonoids, tannins, and saponins in sengon wood possess antibacterial properties and can serve as alternative materials. The study aimed to assess the efficacy of combining sengon wood extract and bamboo stem liquid smoke as a disinfectant. The experimental methodology employed in vitro testing through an inhibitory assay and in vivo testing utilizing a swab on the surface, assessing the effects pre- and post-swabbing. The in vitro results indicated that the most substantial inhibitory zone was observed with a 40:60 ratio for Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 25241, measuring 11.8 mm; for Candida albicans ATCC 10231, a 30:70 ratio yielded 5.33 mm; and for Aspergillus flavus ATCC 9643, a 30:70 ratio resulted in 5.5 mm. In vivo, swabs from the table yielded an average reduction of 92% in bacterial colonies and 73% in fungal colonies. Conclusion: The amalgamation of sengon twig wood extract and bamboo stem liquid smoke exhibits potential as a disinfectant. Keywords: Liquid smoke, bamboo sticks, disinfectant, sengon wood

Abstract

Diseases caused by bacteria can usually be combated by administering antibiotics and using antiseptics. However, there are some groups of pathogens, such Escherichia coli as well as Staphylococcus aureus, which are highly resistant to the antibiotics amoxicillin, penicillin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol. One of the efforts to control these bacteria is by using bioactive compounds derived from plants. Banana plants contain secondary metabolite compounds flavonoids, saponins, and tannins that can act as anti-infective agents, including muli banana (Musa acuminata Linn.). Banana plant roots as natural ingredients can be an alternative to antiseptics because they contain antibacterial compounds with milder side effects than long-term use of alcohol-based antiseptics that can reduce skin moisture. This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of banana muli root extract (M. acuminata Linn.) as an antibiotic and antiseptic. The hypothesis in this study is that the root extract at a certain concentration is thought to have effectiveness as an antibiotic (E. coli) and antiseptic (S. aureus). In this study, the Kirby-Bauer method was applied by agar diffusion and the results of the inhibition zone test were formed around the paper disc. The results showed that the optimum efficacy of muli banana root extract (M. acuminata Linn.) as an antibiotic (E. coli ATCC 25922) was at a concentration of 95% (2.96 mm) and as an antiseptic (S. aureus ATCC 25923) at a concentration of 75% (9.1 mm).
