Methods: Preparation of extract were perfomed by reflux using ethanol as a solvent. The extracts were vaporated using rotavapor. Total flavonoid content was measured using modified method adapted from Chang. For antimicrobial activity microdilution broth method was used. Results: Antimicrobial activity of four Zingiberaceae plants showed various potency. Hornstedtia pininga, Amomum hochreutineri and Hedychium roxburghii showed strong activity against Bacilus subtilis (MIC at 500 μg/mL). The strongest activity against E. coli were showed by H. pininga and H. roxburghii the MIC were 31.25 μg/mL. Whereas, the strongest antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa was H. roxburghii (MIC was 62.5 μg/mL). In line with total flavonoid content results, the highest yield was obtained by H. roxburghii rhizome extract (0.162%), followed by A. hochreutineri (0.76%), Nicolaia hemisphaerica (0.071%) and H. pininga (0.04%). Conclusion: In the present study, ethanolic extract of four Zingiberaceae showed an antimicrobial activity with various potency. Hornstedtia pininga, Amomum hochreutineri and Hedychium roxburghii showed strong activity against Bacilus subtilis (MIC at 500 μg/mL).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Antimicrobial,Flavonoid,Hedychium,Hornstedtia,Zingiberaceae[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
