【 摘 要 】

Introduction: Katuk( Sauropus androgynusL. Merr.) leaf and roselle ( Hibiscus sabdariffaL.) are part of plants that have antifungal activity againstCandida albicans.The purpose of this study was to examine the inhibitory zone ofkatukleaf’s infusion compared to roselle petals towards the growth of oralCandida albicans .Methods:The research methods was experimental laboratory. Each ofkatukleaf and roselle’s infusion were respectively made in four concentration, i.e 5, 10, 20, and 40%. The positive control was 2% ketoconazole, while negative control was sterile aquadest.Results:The result of the study showed that the mean of inhibitory zones ofkatukleaf 5%, was 17.90±0.8 mm,katukleaf of 10% was 19.67±1.78 mm,katukleaf of 20% was 19.67±1.78 mm, andkatukleaf consentration of 40% was 22.93±1.00 mm, meanwhile the mean of inhibitions zones of roselle petals infusion of 5% shows its mean of 18.53±0.67 mm, roselle petals of 10% was 22.40±1.28 mm, roselle petals of 20% was 26.20±0.87 mm, and roselle petals of 40%was 29.47±2.87 mm.Conclusion:It can be concluded that the mean of inhibitions zones ofkatukleaf’s infusion was smaller than roselle petals toward the growth of oralCandida albicans.
