| Summary: | Nowadays, phenomena of antibiotic resistant bacteria increases rapidly. The use of herbs is often
used by people as a primary therapy or companion of therapy with synthetic drugs. This study
aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract of stem lemongrass, lime peel
and shallot bulbous and its combination with penicillin against Staphylococcus aureus and
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In this study, the antibacterial activity of the
extracts was determined by its Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum
Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) using microdilution method. Furthermore, the determination of
the antibacterial activity combination of extravt with antibiotics was done by using checkerboard
method and agar diffusion method. The results showed that MIC of stem lemongrass extract
against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA were 64 and 2048 µg/mL, respectively. The MICs of lime
peel extract against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA were 4096 and 8192 µg/mL, and for shallot
bulbous extract were 128 and 4096 µg/mL, respectively. FICI value for the combination of
lemongrass extract and penicillin against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA were 0.1875 and
0.625, respectively. For a combination of lime peel extract and penicillin have FICI value against
Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA were 1 and 1.5, respectively. Moreover, the value of FICI
between extract of shallot bulbous and penicillin against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA were
0.25 and 0.75, respectively. In conclusion, lemongrass extract has the lowest MIC compared with
lime peel extract and shallot bulbous extract against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA.
Combination of lemongrass stem extract with penicillin and shallot bulbous extract with penicillin
against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA showed synergistic activity.
