Abstract

Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most frequently involved pathogenic microorganisms in infectious diseases in humans. Disinfectants are biocides commonly used to eliminate microorganisms on surfaces to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Extracts from the leaves of Eucalyptus sp. and Melaleuca sp. contain 1,8-cineole, an antimicrobial substance that can inhibit the growth of a broad spectrum of bacteria while being safer for human mucosal tissues. It is hoped that 1,8-cineole can replace the active compounds commonly found in disinfectants. Purpose: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of disinfectants made from essential oils of Eucalyptus sp. and Melaleuca sp. in killing S. aureus bacteria. Methods: Essential oils were obtained by distilling the dried leaves of Eucalyptus sp. and Melaleuca sp., then chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG) and 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) were added. The disinfectant formulas were then tested on colonies of S. aureus bacteria. Results: The disinfectant spray extracted from the essential oil of Eucalyptus sp. had an inhibition zone of 38.99 mm, whereas the one made from Melaleuca sp. extract had an inhibition zone of 11.88 mm. Conclusion: At the same concentration, the disinfectant spray with essential oil of Eucalyptus sp. is more effective in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus
