Antibacterial effects of Kepok Banana bunch (Musa paradisiaca L.) against Staphylococcus aureus

Banana plants are well-known to contain diverse phytochemical compound. This study aimed identify the antibacterial effects of Kepok bunches (Musa paradisiaca L.) against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. A laboratory analysis was carried out determine zone bacterial inhibition. The experiment used completely randomized design with 3 treatments (50 μL, 70 μL extract and 50 Chloramphenicol as a positive control), each treatment replicated three times. performed wells agar diffusion. Data were analyzed by variance (ANOVA) followed Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Results showed that had potency agent. Treatments different (P<0.05) results in inhibition zones. produces highest inhibitory (34.78 mm), while difference concentration banana same μL: 11.52 mm; 15.52). It is concluded has use an aureus.
