ABSTRACT
Disc diffusion (DD), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)
and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) assays were used to evaluate the
antimicrobial activity of 21 consecutive extracts of different aerial parts of Etlingera brevilabrum against 18
microorganisms that included six Gram-positive [(+)], ten Gram-negative [(-)] bacteria
and two fungi. Among the plant parts, the stolon extracts showed numerous
activity than the other parts in which they inhibited Gram-positive of Staphylococcus
aureus (ethyl acetate extract: diameter of inhibition zone 12.2±0.3 mm, MIC 3.12
mg/mL, MBC 6.25 mg/mL), methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA)
(ethyl acetate extract: 12.1±0.2 mm, 12.5 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL), S. epidermidis (ethanol
extract: 11.4±0.5 mm, 3.12 mg/mL, 3.12 mg/mL), Bacillus thuringiensis (acetone
extract: 13.3±0.5 mm, 12.5 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL) and one Gram-negative of Vibrio
paraehaemolyticus (water extract: 14.3±0.4 mm, 1.56 mg/mL, 6.25 mg/mL). The
highest activity in MIC was shown by the methanol-water (1:1) and
water extracts on Gram-negative Aeromonas hydrophila (1.56 mg/mL: leaf
water extract) and V. paraehaemolyticus (1.56 mg/mL: methanol-water and
water extracts of stolons and leaves and stem water extract).

ABSTRAK
Asai peresapan cakera (PC), kepekatan merencat minimum (KMM)
dan kepekatan bakteriasid minimum (KBM) diguna bagi menilai aktiviti antimikrob
21 ekstrak berturutan bahagian udara berbeza Etlingera brevilabrum terhadap 18 mikroorganisma termasuk enam
bakteria Gram-positif [(+)], sepuluh Gram-negatif [(-)] dan dua kulat. Antara
bahagian tumbuhan, ekstrak pangkal-batang memperlihat lebih banyak aktiviti
daripada bahagian lain dan ia boleh merencat empat Gram-positif Staphylococcus
aureus (ekstrak etil asetat: diameter zon perencatan 12.2±0.3 mm, KMM 3.12
mg/mL, KBM 6.25 mg/mL), S. aureus tahan-metisillin (SATM) (ekstrak etil
asetat: 12.1±0.2 mm, 12.5 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL), S. epidermidis (ekstrak
etanol: 11.4±0.5 mm, 3.12 mg/mL, 3.12 mg/mL), Bacillus thuringiensis (ekstrak
aseton: 13.3±0.5 mm, 12.5 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL) dan satu Gram-negatif Vibrio
paraehaemolyticus (ekstrak air: 14.3±0.4 mm, 1.56 mg/mL, 6.25 mg/mL).
Aktiviti tertinggi dalam KMM diperlihat oleh ekstrak metanol-air (1:1)
dan air terhadap Gram-negatif Aeromonas hydrophila (1.56 mg/mL: ekstrak
air daun) dan V. paraehaemolyticus (1.56 mg/mL: ekstrak metanol-air dan
air bagi pangkal-batang dan daun dan ekstrak air batang).
Kata kunci: Antimikrob; Etlingera brevilabrum; kepekatan bakteriasid minimum; kepekatan
merencat minimum; peresapan cakera
