![]() ![]() The antioxidant activity measured by the DPPH method from the crude extract of the pokea shell is still relatively weak but the crude extract of methanol of the boiled and dried pokea shells in toxic category so potentially as a cytotoxic compound. This study consists of phytochemical tests, including alkaloids, steroids, triterpenoids, saponins, and flavonoids. The aim of this study was to conduct phytochemical tests aimed at identifying the bioactive components present in the powder crude extract of pokea shell can be applied in analyzing antioxidant activity and testing cytotoxic activity. Keywords: Anti-MRSA, Batissa violacea celebensis Martens 1897, Screening, Symbiont bacteria ![]() ![]() Determination of the gram of these 2 isolates found as gram- positive bacteria in the form of bacilli so it can be concluded that the 2 isolates can be used as anti-MRSA agents. These isolates have an inhibition zone of 25 mm and 22 mm with a sensitive category according to CLSI standards (Sensitive =17 mm). Based on the qualitative test obtained that the Bvc1 and Bvc3 bacterial isolates had the potency to be used as anti-MRSA agents. Based on the results five bacterial isolates were obtained with different abilities to inhibit MRSA bacteria. The inhibition test was done qualitatively by using a paper disk. Pure isolates that have been produced from secondary metabolites to be tested for their potential in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria MRSA. In this research, Pokea Shell's symbiont bacteria were isolated from Konawe Regency to obtain pure isolates. This study aims to explore the potential of bacteria in symbiosis with Pokea Shells (Batissa violacea celebensis Martens 1897) from Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province to be used as the newest anti-MRSA. ![]() Therefore antibiotic alternatives sourced from nature are needed to treat the MRSA pathogenic infection. Staphylococcus aureus as one of the common pathogens causing infection has experienced resistance to various classes of beta-lactam antibiotics known as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Currently, infectious diseases are still a serious problem in Indonesia, especially with the wide spread resistance of microbes to antibiotics. ![]()
