This finding reports an antibacterial activity of water extract from the stem bark of Spathodea campanulata Beauv by combining it to the copper nanoparticle. The strategy involves extraction, characterization, and evaluation of water extract of Spathodea campanulata Beauv as an antibacterial agent. Includes, its pre-mixture with copper nanoparticle. In short, antibacterial activity of the mixture of water extract and copper nanoparticle inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus three times higher than that using water extract. The result significantly paves the way for further application of Spathodea campanulata stem bark waste as antibacterial materials. © 2017 Author(s).
