Antibacterial Potency of Sarang Semut (MyrmecodiaPendans Merr. & Perry) to Prevent Adhesion and Growth of Enterococcus faecalis
Abstract: Introduction. Enterococcus faecalis is one of the anaerobic facultative bacteria that causes root canal infections. The growth intensity and adhesion strength of E. faecalis against the host cell makes it difficult to eliminate. Previous studies have reported that extract of Sarang Semut (Myrmecodia pendansMerr. & Perry) has a promising sensitivity to E. faecalis, especially at high concentrations. Objective. The purpose of this study was to analyze the potential of extracts of Sarang Semut in preventing adhesion and growth of E. faecalis based on the time of incubation. Method. E. faecalis ATCC 29212. E. faecalis is equalized with Mc. Farlan 0, 5 (-1x108). Anti-adhesion activity of extract of Sarang Semut on E. faecalis ATCC 29212 was analyzed by spectrophotometry at wavelength 590 nm and the growth inhibitory activity was analyzed by using culture approach. Results were analyzed by One Way Anova test (p
