Ageratum conyzoides L. leaf has the main compound of flavonoids and alkaloids that contribute to accelerate the healing process of diabetic ulcers with Staphylococcus aureus infection that can affect the quality of life of patients. This study aims to test the leaves of Ageratum conyzoides L. on the recovery of diabetic ulcers of mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus. The method used is the extraction of Ageratum conyzoides L leaves as the material of spray 15%, induction of diabetic compound (Alloxan monohydrate), length wound (1cm) and bacterial infections, and spray application with 1 times daily frequency, 2 times daily, 3 times a day for 9 days. The results showed that the lenght of wounds in group A, B, C, D, and E were 0,5; 0,8; 0,4; 0,2; 0,0. The administration of Ageratum conyzoides L. spray which has active flavonoide substances, alkaloid substance, and saponin substances has an effect on decreased length of diabetic wounds and restoration of dermis tissue structure (increases epithelial cells proliferation, initiates fibroblast cells, and stimulates type 1 collagen). Spray treatment 3 times a day (group E) was more influential than the other treatments, which experienced wound closure in 9 days. Thus, Ageratum conyzoides L. leaf spray is potential for therapy of diabetic ulcers infected with Staphylococcus aureus. ABSTRAKDaun Ageratum conyzoides L. memiliki senyawa utama flavonoid dan alkaloid yang berkontribusi dalam mempercepat proses penyembuhan ulkus diabetikum dengan infeksi bakteri Staphylococcus aureus yang dapat mempengaruhi kualitas hidup penderita. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji potensi daun Ageratum conyzoides L. terhadap pemulihan luka diabetik mencit terinfeksi bakteri Staphylococcus aureus. Metode yang digunakan yaitu dengan ekstraksi daun Ageratum conyzoides L. untuk pembuatan spray 15%, induksi senyawa diabetik (Alloxan monohydrate), pembuatan panjang luka (1cm) dan infeksi bakteri, serta pengaplikasian spray dengan frekuensi pemberian 1 kali sehari, 2 kali sehari, 3 kali sehari selama 9 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan panjang luka pada kelompok A, B, C, D, dan E berturut-turut adalah 0,5; 0,8; 0,4; 0,2; 0,0. Pemberian spray Ageratum conyzoides L. yang memiliki zat aktif flavonid, alkaloid dan saponin berpengaruh pada berkurangnya panjang luka diabetik dan pemulihan struktur jaringan dermis (meningkatkan proliferasi sel epitel, menginisiasi sel fibroblas, dan menstimulasi kolagen tipe 1). Perlakuan spray 3 kali sehari (kelompok E) lebih berpengaruh dibandingkan dengan perlakuan yang lain, yaitu mengalami penutupan luka dalam 9 hari. Dengan demikian, spray daun Ageratum conyzoides L. berpotensi untuk terapi ulkus diabetikum yang terinfeksi Staphylococcus aureus.
