Abstract

This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity from the ethanol extract of Kecombrang flower (Etlingera elatior (Jack) R.M. Smith) against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Propionibacterium acnes. The extract was made by the maceration method with 70% ethanol as a solvent. Antibacterial activity test was carried out by the disk diffusion method with a concentration of 10%, 20%, 40%, and 80%. Meanwhile, the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was done at concentrations of 10%, 8%, 6%, 4%, and 2%. The results showed that the Kecombrang flower (Etlingera elatior (Jack) R.M.Smith) extract had antibacterial activity against S. epidermidis and P. acnes. The MIC for S. epidermidis is at a concentration of 4%, while in P.acnes cannot determine yet.
