Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic makes personal hygiene more important than ever, and antibacterial substances such as disinfectants are crucial in maintaining said hygiene. This study aimed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of cavendish banana peel extract (Musa acuminata) against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis.
