This research took the form of an article search carried out based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria used were articles published within a 10 years span. Based on article search results, mangkokan leaves (Nothopanax scutellarium) have been proven to be able to inhibit the growth of several bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Eschericia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Propionobacterium acne, Salmonella gastroenterit, Lactobacilus rhamnosus and Bacillus subtilis.
