PENGARUH DAYA ANTIBAKTERI ANTARA EKSTRAK SARANG SEMUT (Myrmecodia pendans) KHAS PAPUA DENGAN SODIUM HIPOKLORIT 2,5% TERHADAP Staphylococcus aureus
Abstract
Abstract: Pulp necrosis is a condition that indicates death of the pulp. Bacteria
identified from necrotic root canals were 7 (seven) types of bacteria, namely
Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, P.aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus
vulgaris, K. pneumoniae, Actinomyces spp, and Streptococcus spp. Root Canal
Treatment (PSA) is an endodontic treatment by removing pulp tissue from infected
pulp chambers and root canals. One of the commonly used irrigation ingredients is
sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution. This solution has the advantage of being a
high level desinfectants because it is very active in all bacteria, viruses, fungi,
parasites and some spores and has an effective bactericidal effect on gram-positive
bacteria and gram-negative bacteria. Ant nest (Myrmecodia pendans) can be used
as an alternative medicine because flavonoids act directly as antibiotics by
interfering with the function of bacterial or viral microorganisms. Objective: To
determine the effect of antibacterial power between ants (Myrmecodia pendans)
extract special to Papua concentration of 15%, 25%, and 50% with 2.5% sodium
hypochlorite on Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Research design: In Vitro
laboratory experimental type with agar well diffusion method on TSA media.
Calculation of antibacterial power by measuring the radical zone using a sliding
caliper. Data were analyzed using the One Way Anova test followed by the LSD
(Least Significan Different). test. The results of the study: there are antibacterial
effects between Papua special extracts of ants (Myrmecodia pendans) with a
concentration of 15%, 25%, and 50% with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite on
Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, Papua special extracts of ants (Myrmecodia
pendans) with concentration of 50% a shows that the antibacterial power given is
highest compared to other treatments.
