Abstract

Known for its antibacterial, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic action, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solm) has numerous active chemicals including saponins, flavonoids, polyphenols, and alkaloids. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermis and Propionibacterium acnes a 70% ethanolic extract of water hyacinth from Lake Toba, North Sumatera. Using tetracycline as a positive control and 10% DMSO as a negative control, the minimum inhibitory diameter was found by means of the solid diffusion method. The results showed that against both Staphylococcus epidermidis and Propionibacterium acnes, the 70% ethanol extract of water hyacinth demonstrated considerable antibacterial action. The inhibition zones evaluated for Staphylococcus epidermidis were from 10.59 ± 0.07 mm (25%) 11.41 ± 0.04 mm (50%), 12.43 ± 0.10 mm (75%), and 14.44 ± 0.01 mm (100%) and the MIC was found 5%. Comparably, for Propionibacterium acnes, the inhibition zones were 11.20 ± 0.08 mm (25%), 11.44 ± 0.01 mm (50%), 14.51 ± 0.04 mm (75%), and 19.37 ± 0.12 mm (100%). This MIC value of 10% further indicates its remarkable antibacterial efficacy at this dosage. These results provide data for both pharmacological and therapeutic uses and demonstrate the natural antibacterial properties of water hyacinth extract.
