Abstract

Latar Belakang: Staphylococcus aureus adalah salah satu mikroorganisme patogen yang paling sering terlibat dalam infeksi menular pada manusia. Disinfektan adalah biosida yang sering digunakan untuk mengeliminasi mikroorganisme pada permukaan benda guna mencegah penyebaran penyakit menular. Ekstrak daun tanaman Eucalyptus sp. dan Melaleuca sp. Mengandung 1,8-cineole, zat antimikroba yang dapat menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri spektrum luas sekaligus lebih aman bagi jaringan mukosa manusia. Diharapkan bahwa 1,8-cineole ini dapat menggantikan senyawa aktif yang umumnya terdapat dalam disinfektan. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan efektivitas disinfektan yang dibuat dari minyak atsiri Eucalyptus sp dan Melaleuca sp dalam membunuh bakteri S. aureus. Metode: Distilasi daun kering Eucalyptus sp dan Melaleuca sp diperoleh minyak esensial (atsiri), kemudian ditambahkan chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG) dan 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Formula disinfektan tersebut kemudian diujikan pada koloni bakteri S. aureus. Hasil: Disinfektan spray yang diekstrak dari minyak esensial Eucalyptus sp memiliki zona inhibisi 38,99mm sedangkan yang terbuat dari ekstrak Melaleuca sp memiliki zona inhibisi 11,88mm. Kesimpulan: Pada konsentrasi yang sama, disinfektan spray dengan minyak esensial Eucalyptus sp lebih efektif dalam menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri Staphylococcus aureus.Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most frequently involved pathogenic microorganisms in infectious diseases in humans. Disinfectants are biocides commonly used to eliminate microorganisms on surfaces to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Extracts from the leaves of Eucalyptus sp. and Melaleuca sp. contain 1,8-cineole, an antimicrobial substance that can inhibit the growth of a broad spectrum of bacteria while being safer for human mucosal tissues. It is hoped that 1,8-cineole can replace the active compounds commonly found in disinfectants. Purpose: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of disinfectants made from essential oils of Eucalyptus sp. and Melaleuca sp. in killing S. aureus bacteria. Methods: Essential oils were obtained by distilling the dried leaves of Eucalyptus sp. and Melaleuca sp., then chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG) and 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) were added. The disinfectant formulas were then tested on colonies of S. aureus bacteria. Results: The disinfectant spray extracted from the essential oil of Eucalyptus sp. had an inhibition zone of 38.99 mm, whereas the one made from Melaleuca sp. extract had an inhibition zone of 11.88 mm. Conclusion: At the same concentration, the disinfectant spray with essential oil of Eucalyptus sp. is more effective in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus
