Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium commonly associated with nosocomial infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Inappropriate use of antibiotics can lead to resistance, highlighting the need for safer and more effective alternative treatments. Green betel leaf (Piper betle L.) contains active compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins that exhibit antibacterial properties. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an ethanol extract gel formulation of green betel leaves against the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The methods included ethanol extraction of betel leaves through maceration, formulation of gels with varying extract concentrations, and antibacterial activity testing using the disk diffusion method. The results showed that the ethanol extract gel was able to inhibit the growth of P. aeruginosa, with inhibition zones increasing along with higher extract concentrations. In conclusion, the ethanol extract gel of green betel leaves has potential as a natural antibacterial agent against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract

Wounds occur when there is damage or loss of body tissue due to factors that interfere with the body's protective system and cause infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.Noni leaf (Morinda citrifolia L.) has strong potential as an antibacterial, so researchers are interested in formulating ethanol extract of noni leaf (EEDM) into a patch preparation. Objective: Knowing that EEDM can be formulated as a patch preparation, as well as knowing its antibacterial activity. Methods: Four formulas were made with variations in extract concentration, namely F0 (blank); FI : 5%; FII: 10%; and FIII: 15%. Antibacterial testing using disc paper diffusion method. Results: A clear patch preparation was produced in F0, while in FI, FII and FIII the gel was blackish green with a distinctive smell of EEDM. The results of the antibacterial activity test against Staphylococcus aureus in each formula are FI: 2.58 mm; FII: 2.35 mm; FIII: 2.41 mm, while against Staphylococcus epidermidis, FI: 1.46; FII: 2.28; FIII: 3.33. Conclusion: EEDM can be formulated into patch preparations. The antibacterial potential of the three formulas is in the weak category.
