Summary: Abstract: Jasmine tea is a popular drink for those who love tea and enjoy its sweet relaxing aroma. When its extract was incorporated in our study, the intension was to prove that it has some inhibitory effects to certain pathogenic bacteria. Through academic references, it was learned that it has content called catechins which have an anrimicrobial and antiviral effect. In the experimental study, Jasmine tea extract was added in making Blood Agar Plate (BAP), Trypticase Soy Agar (TSA), and Nutrient Agar (NA). These solid plated agars were used as media for the growth of the bacteria to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhimurium. With a sample size of 10 plates for each bacterium, S. aureus and a control bacterium, Streptococcus pneumoniae, was inoculated in BAP with and without Jasmine tea; E. coli and a control bacterium, Proteus mirabilis, in TSA with and without Jasmine tea; Salmonella typhimurium and a control bacterium, Shigella flexneri, in NA with and without Jasmine tea. Mixed culture was also done with the bacteria in the aforementioned agars. After overnight incubation, there was abundant growth in BAP with and without Jasmine tea for both bacteria; same result showed in the two bacteria inoculated in NA with and without jasmine tea. There was no growth of E. coli in TSA with Jasmine tea although there was still growth of E. coli and P. mirabilis in TSA without Jasmine tea and TSA with Jasmine tea for the latter. After testing for the significant difference, there was significant difference in the growth of E. coli with and without Jasmine tea. This displayed proof that E. coli can be inhibited by Jasmine tea in solid agar. Jasmine tea therefore can be incorporated in TSA to inhibit E. coli in mixed studies.
