Uji Daya Hambat Ekstrak Etanol dan N-Heksana Daun Labu Kuning (Cucurbita moschata D.) terhadap Bakteri Staphylococcus epidermidis

Pumpkin leaf plant (Cucurbita moschata D.) is commonly used to treat gastric pain, jaundice, hipercholesterol, and contains antibacterial compounds. Nature products derived from plants are often facial skin disease by inhibiting acne-causing bacteria. Staphylococcus epidermidis has important role in acne formation. This research aims determine the activity, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Bactericidal (MBC) of 70% ethanol extract n-hexane against epidermidis. extracts were obtained maceration technique then diluted obtain with concentrations 10%, 25%, 50%. The activity test pumpkin leaves was carried out vitro well diffusion method on Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) media, while MIC MBC determined dilution using different concentration extract. results this showed that there inhibition zone formed at 50% yellow leaves. According result, largest (20.02 ± 0,28 mm). value found 12.5% Meanwhile, no S. It can be concluded potent antibiotic material for
