Kesehatan reproduksi dan kebersihan daerah kewanitaan (vagina) bagi perempuan sangat penting karena dapat mencegah dari penyakit serta infeksi menular. Di dalam vagina terdapat bakteri Lactobacillus yaitu bakteri flora normal vagina yang baik yang berfungsi untuk mempertahankan keasaman vagina agar bakteri patogen mati dan untuk menjaga keseimbangan flora normal vagina. Terganggunya keseimbangan flora normal pada vagina dapat menyebabkan bakterial vaginosis (BV). Penggunaaan antiseptik komersil justru mengganggu ekosistem di dalam vagina, terutama pH dan dapat menggangu flora normal vagina, sehingga diperlukan antiseptik yang aman bagi mikroflora normal vagina. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek antibakteri dari ekstrak kelopak bunga rosella terhadap pertumbuhan bakteri patogen penyebab BV (Gardnerella vaginalis) dan pertumbuhan mikroflora normal vagina (Lactobacillus sp.). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode modifikasi koefisien fenol. Data dianalisis dengan ANAVA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa infusum kelopak bunga rosella Hibiscus sabdarifa L. bersifat antibakteri terhadap Gardnerella vaginalis, namun tidak menyebabkan kematian Lactobacillus sp. Hasil analisis menunjukkan berbeda nyata karena nilai p

Reproductive health and cleanliness of the female area (vagina) is very important because it can prevent diseases and infectious infections. In the vagina, there are Lactobacillus bacteria, which are normal vaginal flora bacteria, which are good for maintaining vaginal acidity so that pathogenic bacteria die and to maintain the balance of normal vaginal flora. Disruption of the normal vaginal flora balance can cause bacterial vaginosis (BV). The use of commercial antiseptics actually disturbs the ecosystem in the vagina, especially pH and can interfere with the normal flora of the vagina, so an antiseptic that is safe for normal vaginal microflora is needed. This study aims to determine the antibacterial effect of rosella flower petal extract on the growth of pathogenic bacteria that cause BV (Gardnerella vaginalis) and the growth of normal vaginal microflora (Lactobacillus sp.). This study uses the phenol coefficient modification method. Data were analyzed by ANOVA. The results showed that rosella flower petal infusum Hibiscus sabdarifa L. was antibacterial against Gardnerella vaginalis, but did not cause the death of Lactobacillus sp. The analysis results showed significantly different because the p value
