Abstract

Abstract: Impatiens balsamina L. is an herbal plant which contains flavonoids that has been proven to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans. This study was aimed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the balsamina leaf extract on the growth of Streptococcus mutans. This was a true experimental study with a randomized pretest-postest control group design. The method used was serial dilution and tested with the spectrophotometer and turbiditry measurements. Balsamina leaf was extracted by using maceration method with 96% ethanol. The Streptococcus mutans bacteria were obtained from pure stock bacteria at Microbiology Laboratory of Pharmacy Faculty of Mathematics, University of Sam Ratulangi. The results indicated that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the balsamina leaf (Impatiens balsamina L.) extract on the growth of Streptococcus mutans was at a concentration of 3.125%.

Keywords: balsamina leaf (Impatiens balsamina L.), Streptococcus mutans, MIC

 

Abstrak: Pacar Air (Impatiens balsamina L.) merupakan tanaman herbal yang mengandung flavonoid yang telah terbukti dapat menghambat pertumbuhan Streptococcus mutans. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konsentrasi hambat minimum (KHM) dari ekstrak daun Pacar Air terhadap pertumbuhan Streptococcus mutans. Jenis penelitian ialah eksperimental murni dengan Randomized Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode serial dilusi dengan metode pengujian turbidimetri dan spektrofotometri. Daun Pacar air diekstraksi dengan metode maserasi menggunakan pelarut etanol 96%. Bakteri Streptococcus mutans diperoleh dari stok bakteri murni Laboratorium Mikrobiologi Program Studi Farmasi Fakultas MIPA Universitas Sam Ratulangi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi hambat minimum (KHM) ekstrak daun Pacar Air terhadap pertumbuhan Streptococcus mutans pada konsentrasi 3,125%.
