| description | Antimicrobials are a common term that refers to a group of drugs that can kill microorganism which antibiotic, antifungal and antivirus. Antimicrobial acts to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Nowadays, there are minority of people that use traditional materials to treat a certain disease in this world. It can develop to be used as medicine and give benefits to other people. Since there is lacking information regarding to the flowering plants towards the antimicrobial activity, the study will elucidate the effect of antimicrobial activity that have in the extraction of flowering plants.
Objective: The aim of study is to study the antimicrobial activity in flowering plant extracts. The flowers used in this study are bougainvillea, frangipani and hibiscus flowers. Method: Extracts from petals of flowers were obtained by using methanol extraction. The antimicrobial activity was carried out using disk diffusion method. Findings: All the flowers extracts used in this study shows significantly larger inhibition zones compared to negative control when tested towards E. coli. However, only bougainvillea flowers showed significantly larger inhibition zone compared to positive control. The largest inhibition zone was showed in bougainvillea flower extracts for P. aeruginosa. The smallest inhibition zone was showed in frangipani flower extracts compared to the negative controls. For conclusion, all the flower extracts showed antimicrobial activity towards E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Bougainvillea flower extract shows largest inhibition zone compared to the other flowers extracts. |
