Antibacterial activity methods of red betel extract (P. crocatum Ruiz and Pav).

No. Compounds Types of Bacteria Methods References
1 Flavonol
Chalcone
Anthocyanins
S. mutans The Kirby–Bauer method of the disc diffusion test combined with UV irradiating treatment was used. The results showed the diameter of the inhibition zone (15.00 ± 0.05) mm for 10 watt and (15.96 ± 0.05) mm for 15 watt. Dyah Astuti et al., 2020 [135]
2 Alkaloids
Steroids
Tannins
B. subtilis
P. aeuruginosa
Antibacterial activity was tested using the well method. Inhibited the growth of B. substilis and P. aeruginosa bacteria but the activity was weak, the inhibition zone was < 5 mm. Puspita et al., 2019 [136]
3 Flavonoid
Saponin
Tannins
Phenolic
Staphylococcus epidermidis Bacterial test was carried out using the well method, extract concentrations of 50 and 100% could inhibit the growth of S. epidermidis. Januarti et al., 2019 [137]
4 Tannins Staphylococcus aureus Tests using the well method can inhibit S. aureus bacteria. Maceration extraction technique to get the average inhibition zone of 12.30 mm. Soleha, 2018 [138]
5 Flavonoids
Alkaloids
Tannins
Essential oil
Porphyromonas gingivalis
S. viridians
The antibacterial test was carried out using the well method, the inhibition zone on P. gingivalis was 10.34 mm while S. viridians was 8.42 mm. Pujiastuti et al., 2015 [139]
