Abstract
Moringa oleiferaLamk (Moringaceae) is a worldwide use for food and traditional medicine. In this study, plants were separated into seven parts: 1) Leaf, 2) Drum, 3) Branching, 4) Seed, 5) Outer stem, 6) Stem bark, and 7) Root, respectively. Then, they were extracted by two different methods: methanol soxhlet extraction and ethanol maceration. All crude extracts were tested for anti-bacterial activity by agar diffusion method and colorimetric micro-dilution plate technique. The results showed that 7 parts of Moringa crude extracts had low anti-bacterial activity againstStaphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli, andPseudomonas aeruginosawhen compared with standard antibiotic (ampicillin or gentamycin). In conclusion, anti-bacterial effects ofM. oleiferacrude extracts had low anti-bacterial activityin vitrotest.
