UJI DAYA HAMBAT MINYAK SAWIT (CPO), BAWANG PUTIH, DAN KUNYIT TERHADAP BEBERAPA JENIS BAKTERI Vibrio sp.

Abstract

Pathogenic bacteria infection does not only occur in ponds but also occur in shrimp seed rearing ponds. shrimp farmers have already known the term firefly disease  caused by infection of Vibrio harveyi bacterium. Prevention of the growth of Vibrio sp. in water is important to avoid acute and chronic disease in shrimp. Population control of Vibrio sp. in water  can be done by using natural antibiotics derived from plants (herbs). There are many types of plants that contain antibacterial compounds or substances and have been widely used by humans.  the plants that could be  antibiotics are CPO, garlic and turmeric. Based on the results obtained from this study, it indicates  that garlic can inhibit the growth of V. harveyi, V. parahaemolitycus, and V. alginolitycus bacteria. The use of garlic in the  vanname shrimp seeds can result in the death of the shrimp. CPO and turmeric cannot be used as antibiotics against V. harveyi, V. parahaemolitycus, and V. alginolitycus bacteria.
