Tectona grandis L. (Teak) is one of the commercial plants which often used in Southeast Asia. Globally, total area planted teaks reaches 3 million hectares, with about 31% land located Indonesia. Preliminary phytochemistry showed bioactive constituents as alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Isolation characterization by several methods were reported for quantifying secondary metabolites found various parts G, following ICH guidelines reported, viz; Protocatechuic acid, Quinic its derivatives, Apigenin 7-O-diglucuronide, Luteolin, Luteolin 7-Odiglucuronide, glucuronide, Diglucuronide, glucuronide etc, are responsible their antibacterial action. The extractives studied activities agar well diffusion disc method respectively. test organism isolates nutrient broth, hospital strains, decayed food Mueller Hinton Broth (MHB), action G lucid a maximum inhibitory effect; inhibition zone, evident clear zone around discs, minimum concentration (MIC) bacteriocidal (MBC) Accordingly, this review demonstrates importance herbal plant (Tectona grandis) treatment bacteria thus, preventing resistance.
