The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving Japanese frangipani leaf extract (Adenium obesum) on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. This research method is a laboratory experiment by means of wells diffusion with concentrations of 50%, 25%, 15% and 10%. The results of this study indicate that there is no clear zone in each concentration. The conclusion is that Japanese frangipani leaves (Adenium obesum) are unable to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.
