ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY TEST OF 96% ETHANOL EXTRACT OF FLOWERS, LEAVES, AND STEM BARK OF TIGARUN (Crateva magna DC.) AGAINST Staphylococcus aureus and Malassezia furfur

Staphylococcus aureus and Malassezia furfur One of the microbes that can cause folliculitis is inflammation skin in hair follicles. The use natural ingredients as antimicrobials must be developed an alternative to overcome resistance side effects chemical drugs. Tigarun (Crataeva magna DC.) a typical plant South Kalimantan antimicrobial agent for treatment infections. Previous studies have reported tigarun has activity, but no its potential activity against folliculitis-causing microbes. Therefore, this study aimed determine 96% ethanol extracts flowers, leaves, stem bark folliculitis, including furfur. Extraction was performed by maceration method using ethanol. activities were tested agar diffusion method. Based on results test method, flower extract showed better than leaf extracts. Flower at 200 mg/mL concentrations (10.65 ± 0.25) fungus (7.40 0.40) with moderate inhibition zone ketogenic Keywords: Folliculitis, tigarun, antimicrobial,
