Pneumonia masih merupakan penyakit utama kematian pada balita. Pemanfaatan tanaman obat tradisional air kacang tujuh sebagai alternatif pengganti penggunaan antibiotika, diharapkan dapat menurunkan resisten bakteri terhadap antibiotika serta efek sampingnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan Untuk mengetahui efektifitas ekstrak metanol daun kacang tujuh helai daun dalam menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri Streptococcus pneumoniae dan Staphylococcus aureus. Penelitian ini bersifat eksperimental dengan desain posttest-only comparison group. Variabel bebas adalah konsentrasi ekstrak metanol Daun kacang tujuh dan variabel terpengaruh adalah zona bening pertumbuhan bakteri Streptococcus
pneumoniae dan Staphylococcus aureus. Data hasil penelitian di uji normalitas dan homogenitasnya. Setelah itu dilakukan analisa bivariat untuk melihat nilai signifikansi antar variabel. Hasil uji One Way ANOVA (Post Hoc LSD) variabel S. aureus diperoleh nilai p value 0,00 (

Pneumonia is the major causes of death among children under 5 years. The tradisional medicines such as seven-leaves water has be used as a substitute for antibiotics traditionally. It is expected to reduce the side effects of antibiotics and prevent antibiotic resistance. This research aims to study the effects of the methanolic extract of seven-leaves beans leaves against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria growth. This study was an experimental laboratory research with posttest-only comparison group design. The independent variable were the concentratons of seven-leaves beans leaves methanolic extract and the dependent variable was the zone of inhibition of bacterial (Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus) growth. The data were analyzed by the normality and homogenity test. Than for the bivariate test, One Way ANOVA ( with post-hoc lsd ) or Kruskal-Wallis test
had been used. One Way ANOVA ( post hoc LSD ) variables S. aureus obtained that p value 0,00 ( < 0,05 ). Kruskal-Wallis variables S. pneumoniae obtained that p value 0,00 ( < 0,05 ). The conclusion of
this research shows methanolic extract of seven-leaves beans leaves were not effective against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria growth.
