Efek antibakteri ekstrak kunyit (curcuma longa) terhadap pertumbuhan streptococcus sanguinis penyebab endokarditis pasca pencabutan gigi (Laporan penelitian)
T anaman kunyit (curcuma longa) sering dijadikan obat alternatif karena zat yang dikandungnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan bakteri streptococcus sanguinis yang menjadi penyebab utama dari endokarditis infektif pasca pencabutan gigi. Tujuan Penelitian ini untuk melihat efektifitas antibakteri yang dikandung C.longa terhadap S.sanguinis in vitro. Hasil: menyatakan bahwa setiap konsentrasi ekstrak memiliki daya hambat terhadap perrumbuhan bakteri streptococcus sangoinis in vitro. dan menunjukan adanya perbedaan yang bermakna (p< 0.05) antara masing-masing kelompok konsentrasi ( 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%,20%), serta terdapat perbandingan bervariasi antara konsentrasi ekstrak C.longa dengan zona hambat pertumbuhan streptococcus sanguinis.
T urmeric (curcuma longa) is often used as an alternative medicine because of its contents. This study used the bacterium streptococcus sanguinis which is a major cause of infective endocarditis after tooth extraction. The study has the objective to look at the biological effectiveness of anti bacterial C longa against S.sangoinis in vitro. the results of this study states that any concentration of the extract had inhibitory effect on the growth of streptococcus sanguinis in vitro. This study showed a significant diffrerence (p<; 0,05) between each group concentration (100%,80%,60%,40%, 20%), and there as varying ratio between the concentration of the extract of C.longa with growth inhibition zone of S.sanguinis.
