Abstract
Background: Bacteria Shigella dysenteriae is pathogenic bacterium which cause diarrheal diseases that enter into inside the body through intestine. Shigella dysenteriae constitute one of the gram negative bacterium which causes inflammation on intestinal, pain abdominal, tenesmus, and a bowel movements which accompanied with blood and mucus.

The objective of this study is to know the influence of sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata Nees) leaves infuse against the growth of Shigella dysenteriae bacteria.
Method: This is an experimental research using diffusion method. Statistical test who used namely analysis of variant one road (One Way anova). Analysis data were done descriptively and statistically and presented with of tables or graphs.
Results: There is influence of sambiloto leaf infusa (Andrographis paniculata Nees) against the growth of Shigella dysenteriae bacteria in vitro with a mean diameter zone of radical on concentrations the smallest 20% is 12 mm and the greatest concentration 100% is 24.3 mm.
