Abstract

Infectious diseases occur as a result of interaction between microorganism and the body which inflict
some damage on the body. We often find some pathogenic microorganisms such as Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. So, the appropriate antibiotic selection is
needed in the infection healing process. Otherwise, if the selection process is irrational, it will create
resistant bacteria on the anti-biotic. Thus, some alternative ways should be developed especially the
treatmentalternative using medicinal plants as a potential new drug. This study aims to determine the
bacteriostatic activity of wound washing soap providing of the betel leaf extract (Piper betle L.) and the
aloe Vera extract. Since it is an experimental design study, it contained anti-bacteria activity test of
providing soap of betel leaf extract (Piper betle L.) and Aloe vera extract on reducing the number of
bacterial colonies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus,and Escherichia coli. The result
showed there is a reduction of the number of bacterial colonies of Pesudomonasaeruginosa ATCC 9027
equal to 6 log reduction(99,99%) from the first population of 6,1x106 cfu/mL, the bacteria of
Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 equal to 6 log reduction (99,99%) from the first population of
2,1x106 cfu/mL, and the bacteria of Escherichia coli. ATCC 8939 equal to 6 log reduction (99,99%)
from the first population of 7,0x106
cfu/mL.
