THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COMBINATION OF TUMERIC(Curcuma domestica Val.) EXTRACTS AND MULTIFLORA HONEY IN INCREASING THE GROWTH OF BACTERIA Salmonella typhi and Bacillus cereus IN VITRO
Abstract
Salmonella typhi is a gram-negative, pathogenic bacterium that causes typhoid or
typhoid fever. Bacillus cereus is a gram-positive bacterium, grows aerobically, causing
poisoning with symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. Some bacteria begin to be resistant
to antibiotics because they are used too often. As an alternative treatment, plants that
have antibacterial properties such as turmeric have curcumin compounds and essential
oils, while honey has flavonoid compounds. The purpose of this study was to determine
the effectiveness of the combination of turmeric extract (Curcuma domesticaVal.)
and multiflora honey, as well as the most effective inhibitory, inhibits the growth of
Salmonella typhi and Bacillus cereus bacteria in vitro. The extraction was carried out
by the maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent and a combination of turmeric
extract and multiflora honey 100%: 0 w / v; 75%: 25% w / v; 50%: 50% w / v; 25%: 75%
w / v; 0: 100% w / v. Antibacterial activity test uses the disk diffusion method (KirbyBauer). The results showed the effectiveness of the combination, can inhibit the growth
of Salmonella typhi (0.00) and Bacillus cereus (0.01) significantly different (P <0.05).
Salmonella typhi with the most optimal antibacterial activity at a concentration of turmeric
and honey combination of 0: 100% is 16.73 mm, whereas in Bacillus cereus bacteria the
most optimal antibacterial activity at the concentration of turmeric and honey combination
is 0: 100% ie 1.47 mm.
Key Words: Tumeric, multiflora honey, Salmonella typhi, Bacillus cereus
