dc.description.abstractThere is a significant risk of spreading infectious diseases from improper hand washing. Since hands are frequently in contact with potentially hazardous injections, maintaining good hand hygiene is essential 10 overall health. Aside from proper hand washing, disinfectants are also essential especially in limes of pandemic. There is also a high demand and limited supply for ethanol and isopropanol. Therefore, it is vital to investigate alternative sources of organic substances having antibacterial properties. The researchers used a true-experimental method to assess the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli to a hand sanitizer formulated with crude extract from Acacia leaves. Using Shaikh ~~method, the researcher» developed six types of hand sanitizers containing O.5ml, 1.0ml, 1.5ml of Acacia crude extract, (1110 acacia extract "and sanitizer and a hand sanitizer with distilled water. The formulated sanitizers underwent in-vitro testing 10 assess their effectiveness against Staphylococcus aureus anti Escherichia coli, and the zones of inhibition for each formulation were measured. Hand sanitizers containing Acacia crude extract (T1. T2, and T3) exhibited comparable antibacterial efficacy to the commercial hand sanitizer (1"5). Indicating their effectiveness as positive controls. Specifically, these formulations were notably effective against Escherichia Coli bacteria ..Conversely. Treatment s (without Acacia crude extract) and Treatment 6 (consisting of distilled water) displayed no antibacterial properties, serving as negative controls.
