ABSTRACT One of the potential medicinal plants as traditional medicine is gardenia plant (Gardenia augusta). Gardenia leaf extract contains alkaloid compounds, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and triterpenoids, which are known to have antibacterial abilities..The aim of this research was to determine the antibacterial activity of gardenia leaf extract on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella thypi. The examination on the inhibitory power using the Kirby-Bauer method. The Kirby-Bauer method is referring to the diffusion method using paper disc with five treatments, namely the extract of gardenia leaves with a substance concentration of 20%, 40%, and 60% as well positive control (Ciprofloxacin) and negative control (aquades). Based on the research results obtained, it can be concluded that gardenia leaf extract can inhibit growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella thypi at a concentration of 20%, 40% and 60% and classified as strong and medium category.
