Antibacterial Activity of Ethanol Extract, n-Hexane and Ethyl Acetate Fraction of Mundar (Garcinia forbesii) Pericarp

Garcinia forbesii is traditionally used as medicine and cosmetics. The aimed was to determine antibacterial activity of ethanolic extract fraction pericarp against Staphylococcus aureus Propionibacterium acne based on the diameter inhibition zone, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) killing (MBC). results showed that largest zone indicated by ethyl acetate 5.08±1.020 mm 14.33±3.326 mm. MIC value ethanol bacteria >1.5%, n-hexane had same results, namely >1.5% at 1.5%. MBC only obtained for samples It concluded strong diameter, MIC, MBC.
