Abstract :
Rumput teki (Cyperus rotundus L.) sudah lama digunakan sebagai obat tradisional
oleh masyarakat dibelahan benua Asia termasuk Indonesia. Penggunaan secara
empiris terutama pada penyakit infeksi seperti demam tifoid, diare, malaria, dan
infeksi pencernaan akibat bakteri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat aktivitas
antibakteri dari ekstrak etanol umbi rumput teki terhadap bakteri Salmonella thypi
dan Staphylococcus aureus, serta uji penapisan kandungan fitokimia. Umbi rumput
teki di ekstraksi secara maserasi menggunakan etanol 96%. Ekstrak yang diperoleh
kemudian dilakukan penapisan fitokimia. Uji antibakteri dilakukan menggunakan
metode Kirby-Bauer dengan membagi ekstrak menjadi 5 kelompok perlakuan yang
terdiri dari konsentrasi 10% v/v, 40% v/v, 70% v/v, dan 100% v/v. Kontrol positif
antibiotik menggunakan Kloramfenikol dan kontrol negatif menggunakan akuades.
Hasil penapisan fitokimia ekstrak etanol umbi rumput teki mengandung senyawa
flavonoid dan saponin. Hasil uji antibakteri menunjukkan adanya zona hambat pada
Salmonella thypi dan Staphylococcus aureus. Pada bakteri Salmonella thypi
menunjukkan rerata zona hambat sebesar 10% = 7.43 mm, 40% = 9.45 mm, 70% =
10.30 mm, dan 100% = 12.62 mm. Pada bakteri Staphylococcus aureus menunjukkan
rerata zona hambat sebesar 10% = 3.40 mm, 40% = 6.78 mm, 70% = 7.79 mm, dan
100% = 12.23 mm.

Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella thypi/Nut grass (Cyperus rotundus L.) has long been used as traditional medicine by people
in parts of the Asian continent including Indonesia. Empirical use, especially in
infectious diseases such as typhoid fever, diarrhea, malaria, and bacterial digestive
infections. This study aims to look at the antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract
of the nut grass tubers against Salmonella thypi and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria,
as well as phytochemical content screening tests. Nut grass bulbs were macerated
using 96% ethanol. The extract obtained was then subjected to phytochemical
screening. The antibacterial test was carried out using the Kirby-Bauer method and
devided into 5 groups with extract concentrations of 10% v/v, 40% v/v, 70% v/v, and
100% v/v. Positive control of antibiotics using Chloramphenicol and negative control
using distilled water. The results of phytochemical screening of ethanol extracts from
nut grass tubers contain flavonoid compounds and saponins. Antibacterial test results
showed the presence of inhibitory zones in Salmonella thypi and Staphylococcus
aureus. Salmonella thypi bacteria showed a mean inhibition zone of 10% = 7.43 mm,
40% = 9.45 mm, 70% = 10.30 mm, and 100% = 12.62 mm. Staphylococcus aureus
bacteria showed an average inhibition zone of 10% = 3.40 mm, 40% = 6.78 mm, 70%
= 7.79 mm, and 100% = 12.23 mm.
