Abstract

Patients with diabetes mellitus are at a higher risk of developing complications in the form of open wounds on the skin’s surface. Guava leaves contain secondary metabolite substances that have been used in the treatment of wounds. This study aimed to test the antibacterial activity of guava leaves extract-based antiseptic liquid soap for the treatment of diabetic wounds. The study involved creating preparations for antiseptic liquid soap using different concentrations (0.5%, 3%, and 5%) of guava leaves extract, and conducting organoleptic, pH, and antibacterial activity tests on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Results showed that the guava leaves extract antiseptic liquid soap was physically stable and had antibacterial activity. The best antibacterial effectiveness was observed at a concentration of 0.5%. This study suggests that guava leaves extract-based antiseptic liquid soap could be a potential treatment option for diabetic wounds.
