Antibacterial activity of piper sarmentosum (roxb.) Aqueous extract against pathogenic bacteria

Piper sarmentosum (Roxb.), commonly known as "Kaduk" among the Malay community, is a climbing herb belonging to the Piperaceae family. Traditionally, it is eaten raw as "ulam" in Malay cuisine. In addition to its culinary use, this plant is also highly regarded for its medicinal...
