EFEKTIVITAS ANTIBAKTERI EKSTRAK BUAH BIT (Beta vulgaris L.) TERHADAP Enterococcus faecalis
Background: Endodontic treatment failure can be caused by Gram-positive bacteria, namely Enterococcus faecalis. Natural ingredients such as beetroot extract (Beta vulgaris L.) can be used to inhibit the growth of Gram positive bacteria. Beet fruit extract (Beta vulgaris L.) has antibacterial properties because it contains active substances of flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins and alkaloids. Objective: To determine the antibacterial effect of beetroot extract (Beta vulgaris L.) against Enterococcus faecalis bacteria. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study consisting of five treatment groups, namely the beetroot extract group with concentrations of 10,000 µg/ml, 12,500 µg/ml, and 15,000 µg/ml, as well as a positive control of 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Aquadest as a negative control. Test the antibacterial effect using the well-diffusion method with Mueller Hinton Agar media. The repetition of the test for each group was 3 times. The diameter of the inhibition zone was calculated using a caliper. Data were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test. Results: Only beetroot extract concentration of 10,000 µg/ml showed no inhibition zone, while the concentration of 12,500 µg/ml had an inhibition zone diameter of 1.77 ± 0.06 and 15,000 µg/ml showed the largest inhibition zone of 2.33 ± 0 ,06. Conclusion: Beetroot extract (Beta vulgaris L.) has an antibacterial effect against Enterococcus faecalis starting from a concentration of 12,500 µg/ml.
