The Extract was then used in antibacterial activity test with Agar diffusion methods using paper disk. Phytochemical screening by Farnsworth methods. The Phytochemical screening showed the presence of flavonoid, saponin, tannin,quinone, steroid, dan triterpenoid. The activity of antibacterial of ethyl acetate extract against Salmonella typhi (22.33±0.577mm), Staphylococcus epidermidis (19.67±0.577mm), Proteus vulgaris (23.67±0.577 mm). Antibacterial activity of the methanol extracts against (Salmonella typhi), Staphylococcus epidermidis and Proteus vulgaris 17±0, 19±0 and 18.33±.0.577 mm, respectively.
