Review study on antibacterial activity of cherry leaf (Muntingia calabura) against Staphylococcus spp. and Salmonella spp. the most causing disease in livestock
Abstract: This research was
conducted to know about the potential activity of cherry leaf (Muntingia
calabura) as an alternative for disease caused by bacteria Staphylococcus spp.
and Salmonella spp. The material of this
review study was using some literature which related with papers topic. The
method was using descriptive to explained and described in discussion chapter.
Study of the effectiveness of cherry leaf (Muntingia calabura) had been
compared with other natural antibacterial sources such as sirih leaf (Piper betle
L.) and beluntas leaf (Pluchea indica L.). The
result of this study showed cherry leaf was an effective natural
antibacterial source because it has
the widest inhibited zone against Staphylococcus spp. and Salmonella spp. which
amount (19 mm and 37.7 mm) if compared with beluntas leaf (9.5 mm and 15.9 mm)
and sirih leaf (16 mm and 17 mm). Another result, Muntingia calabura was
effective for duck egg hatchability which amounts 87.74%, this result was high
than chemical antibacterial (80.81%), beluntas leaf (44.05%) and sirih leaf
(46.43%). From all literature about widest inhibited zone of natural
antibacterial activity such as cherry leaf, beluntas leaf and sirih leaf
against Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus sp has the same extraction
treatment. Moreover, the result from literature with explained about duck egg
hatchery experiment between chemical antibacterial and natural antibacterial
has the same treatment and duck egg incubation time. It was suggested to do
further study to find out cherry leaf could be used as an alternative natural
antibacterial for diseases caused by other bacteria.
