(Mimosa Pudica Linn) and Bugnay (Antidesma Bunius) Leaves Ethanolic extract
against Staphylococcus Aureus
Chapter I
I. Introduction
Since bacterial infections are so alarming, the formulation of this alternative treatment
for Staphylococcus Aureus is significant most especially in the field of health because
this study will make people healthier and help solve health issues. The beneficial
properties of Makahiya and Bugnay leaves may pave the way for new ideas in the
industry, both agriculturally and pharmaceutically. These are the reasons why the
researcher decided to conduct this study which aims to produce an alternative
treatment against Staphylococcus Aureus and to determine the presence of
Phytochemicals and evaluate its antibacterial ativity.
II. Statement of the Problem
This study aims to determine the Phytochemicals present Makahiya and Bugnay
Leaves Ethanolic extract and evaluate its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus
Aureus More specifically, it aims to answer the following research question:
1. Will there be a significant difference between the commercial product and
Makahiya and Bugnay leaves ethanolic extract as an antibacterial agent against
Staphylococcus aureus in terms of:
A. Zone of Inhibitation; and
III. Hypotheses
This study will be directed by the following hypothesis:
Ha: There will be a significant difference between the commercial product and the
Makahiya and Bugnay’s Leaves ethanolic extract
Ho: There will be no significant difference between the commercial product and the
Makahiya and Bugnay’s Leaves ethanolic extract
IV. Objectives
Health. Despite being frequently found on even healthy people's bodies, germs can
cause relatively minor skin illnesses that can become fatal if they get deeper into the
body. The study's goal was to identify Makahiya and Bugnay’s antibacterial
properties, this will add in giving security to the health of many people.
Availability. Given that Makahiya ang Bugnay plants are widely available, this study
will offer a potentially effective and significantly less expensive alternative for
treating Staphylococcus Aureus.
Economy and Industry. This study will discover the pharmaceutical potentials of the
variables that can be produced commercially at a lower cost; it can help with local
production of the product and also increase job opportunities. This study will also
demonstrate that other beneficial properties of Makahiya and Bugnay leaves may
pave the way for new ideas in the industry, both agriculturally and pharmaceutically.
Environment. Makahiya and Bugnay plants are considered invasive in certain areas,
particularly croplands and orchard gardens. They are commonly disposed of and even
burned on a large scale, contributing to air pollution. This study will rather encourage
people to use Makahiya and Bugnay for a good purpose.
Lifestyle. Bacterial infections can range from mild to severe, nevertheless, they all
have an impact on an individual's quality of life. This study will help to solve these
issues.
Future research. This study will also serve as reserence for future researchers. They
may adapt the findings and consider the recommendations provided by this study to
guide them in writing their own research paper.
member of the Firmicutes and a usual member of the micriobiota of the body, usually
properties and this will be used in formulating new alternative treatment for
Staphylococcus Aureus.
B. Bugnay- this refers to a plant that has antibacterial and antioxidant properties
and this will also be used in the production of alternative treatment against
Staphylococcus Aureus.
C. Inhibition Zone- area where antibiotic stops the bacteria from growing or
killing it.
