This research was an attempt to prove scientifically about the antibacterial effect potention of n-hexane fraction of rose apple leaves [ Eugenia aqueum (Burm. F) Alston]. The aims of this research were to determine the value of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and type of effect as antibacterial from n-hexane fraction of rose apple leaves. Evaluation of antibacterial effect potention was carried out by diffusion method using well techniques on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli . Antibacterial effect was determined based on Bell’s criteria. The type of work against bacteria was evaluated by turbidimetry method. The results showed that the n-hexane fraction of rose apple leaves have antibacterial effect both against S. aureus and E. coli . The MIC of n-hexane fraction of rose apple leaves on S. aureus and E. coli were 1.56% and 6.25% respectively. The type of effect of n-hexane fraction of rose apple leaves were bactericidal both against S. aureus and E. coli.
