Abstract

Inappropriate use of antibiotics can cause bacteria to become resistant and have side effects, therefore an alternative source of antibacterial is needed. One species of plant that has antibacterial properties is calincing (Oxalis corniculata L.). Antibacterial activities of the juice and decoction of calincing leaves against Streptococcus mutans have not reported yet. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity of the juice and decoction of calincing leaves against Streptococcus mutans. This study uses a well diffusion method with eight treatment groups, namely juice and decoction at the concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60%; listerin 100% as a positive control, and distilled water as a negative control. The diameter of the inhibitory zone of the juice and decoction of calincing leaf at a concentration of 20% are 19 mm and 24.33 mm respectively, and classified as strong growth inhibition, while the concentrations of 40% and 60% are classified as very strong growth inhibition. Growth inhibition of the juice and decoction of calincing leaf at concentration of 20% was significantly higher than the positive control. The best antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans is produced by the juice and decoction of calincing leaf at concentration of 60%. Increasing in the concentration of the juice or decoction of calincing leaf also increases the diameter of the inhibitory zone.

Abstract

Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) is a significant disease of rice plants. It is caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae and often leads to yield losses. Excessive use of synthetic chemicals to control BLB has raised concerns over resistance and chemical residues. Therefore, natural alternatives are needed, such as Euphorbia hirta, which is traditionally used as a medicinal plant. This study aimed to determine the inhibitory power of E. hirta extracts against X. oryzae and to identify the presence of flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. Plant extracts were prepared by ethanol maceration, hot-water infusion (~90 °C), and fresh squeezing. Antibacterial activity was evaluated by the well diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton Agar with concentrations of 25–100% (v/v), using chloramphenicol as positive control. Inhibition zones were measured after 24–120 h. The results showed that all preparations inhibited X. oryzae, with ethanol extract producing the strongest activity (10.65–15.94 mm), followed by infusion (3.09–6.31 mm) and fresh-juice (1.50–4.85 mm), compared to chloramphenicol (21.40 mm). Phytochemical tests confirmed flavonoids, tannins, and saponins in all extracts. In conclusion, E. hirta demonstrates antibacterial potential against  , with ethanol extract being the most effective.
