ABSTRAK

            Invitro bioassay on inhibition of propolis extract of galo-galo (Trigona minangkabau) toward Staphylococcus epididimis growth has been conducted. Source of propolis extract comes from Pariaman and Dharmasraya, while S. epidermidis is collection of microbiology laboratory of FMIPA UNP. S. epidermidis was treated by various concentration (1.5%, 2.5%, 3.5%, and 4.5%) of both propolis extract, while negative control using 10% penicilin and positive control using 1.5% Clindomicin. The result showed that propolis extract of T. minangkabau from various regions have resistibility toward S. epidermidis growth by means of bacterial free zone around dish paper. Minimum concentration of propolis extract that could block bacterial growth is 1.5%. There is no diference of both propolis extract with various concentration toward S. epidermidis growth.

Key words: Antimicrobe, propolis, T. minangkabau, S. epidermidis
