The most common cause of diarrhea is Escherichia coli. E. coli is a gram-negative, short rod-shaped, facultative anerobic, nonporous, motile-shaped peritric flagellum. The use of antibiotics continuously can have a resistant effect on these microorganisms. One alternative that can be used is to replace the use of antibiotics with natural ingredients such as medicinal plants Momordica Charantia L which can be used as an antibacterial. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of bitter melon as an antibacterial. This study uses literature study research. The data used are secondary data obtained from the results of research on the effectiveness of Momordica Charantia L extract on Escherichia coli. The sample used was Momordica Charantia L. The data obtained were then analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that the inhibition zone diameter was 19 mm with a concentration of 100 µg / ml, 14.58 mm with a concentration of 10 µl, and the results of the inhibition zone were 4 mm, 4 mm, 7 mm, 9 mm, 9 mm with a concentration of 5 µl , 10 µl, 15 µl, 20 µl, 25 µl. Then the greater the concentration of bitter melon extract used, the greater the inhibitory zone that is formed.} }
