Red betel leaf decoction has and influence on the concentration of the staphylococcus aureus with 20%, of the average total inhibition of 10.3mm, a concentration of 25% of the average total inhibition of 12.5mm. Red betel leaf concentration of 30% is the concentration of the most inflential in inhibiting staphylococcus aureus, as it shows the avarage total bacterial inhibition that most other concentration.
