Abstract
Gynura procumbens or Sambung Nyawa is a tropical plants species from the Asteraceae family. The objectives of this study were to determine antimicrobial activity and Minimal Inhibition Concentration (MIC) of G. procumbens leaf extracts against selective Gram-positive and Gramnegative bacteria. The plant from genus Gynuracan be used traditionally to treat some diseases or infections. G. procumbensis also known as “Sambung Nyawa,” “Akar Sebiak,” and “Kecam Akar” in Malaysia (Affandi et al., 2014).
