Summary: ABSTRACT: Acne vulgaris is a disorder in the skin which produces pimples caused by high amounts of bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. Studies have shown that around 80% of people have had pimples on their face at least once in their lives. The aim of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum) on S. aureus. Furthermore, it aims to identify which part of the tomato (flesh or seed) is a more effective antimicrobial on S. aureus with chloramphenicol as gold standard. Data were gathered through the Kirby-Bauer Disc Diffusion Test wherein the Colony Count and Zone of Ihibition of the extracts were gathered. Based on the gathered data, the samples of the tomato extracts showed a small amount of bacterial contamination. The tomato flesh extract (CC = 2.5 x 104 CFU/g) had lesser colony count tha the tomato seed extract (CC = 3.0 x 104 CFU/g). Nevertheless, the tomato seed extract was able to exhibit a higher zone of inhibition (Average ZOI = 13.67 mm) on S. aureus than the tomato flesh extract (Average ZOI = 0 mm). Therefore, the tomato seed extract was more of the study were used in an infographic poster in order to educate people on the antimicrobial tomato seed extracts being disposed due to its potential to be utilized as an anti-acne agent.
