Abstract

The kirinyu plant (Chromolaena odorata) or On Seurapoh in Acehnese has long been used by people for traditional medicine, including to treat wounds. The research aims to analyze the antibacterial potential of kirinyu ointment to the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in vitro in improving the soft skills of Microbiology course students. The research used a completely randomized design, with a posttest only control group design, consisting of 5 treatments, namely Po: negative control, P1: positive control (Gentamicyn), P2, P3 and P4: kirinyu ointment with concentrations of 5%, 10% and 15% with Staphylococcus aureus as the test bacteria. The antibacterial test of kirinyu ointment used the disc diffusion method. Research data was analyzed using Anava and continued with Duncan's Multiple Range Test at the 95% level. The influence of research on students’ soft skills was analyzed descriptively. The research results show that kirinyu ointment has potential as an antibacterial to Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Evidenced by the formation of a clear zone around the disc, namely kirinyu ointment with concentrations of 5%, 10% and 15% respectively are 9.59 mm, 9.69 mm (medium category) and 11.45 mm (strong category) against Staphylococcus aureus (P < 0.05). Furthermore, this series of research is able to improve students’ soft skills in Microbiology courses at Jabal Ghafur University. Conclusion: Kirinyu ointment contains a number of active components so it can show its potential as an antibacterial against Staphylococcus aureus. And able to improve students’ soft skills in Microbiology courses.
