Background Many plants or herbs exhibit potent antimicrobial activity against various microorganisms. They have no side effects and presumably act against and modulate the factors that are crucial for microbial survival or their activity. Streptococcus mutans is a pioneer bacteria implicated in dental caries. This study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of garlic bulbs, pudina leaves,...

Triterpene acids (ursolic, oleanoic, gypsogenic, and sumaresinolic acids) isolated from Miconia species, along with a mixture of ursolic and oleanolic acids and a mixture of maslinic and 2-a-hydroxyursolic acids, as well as ursolic acid derivatives were evaluated against the following microorganisms: Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus salivarius, S...

because of inappropriate use of antibiotics and prevalence of resistant bacteria, there is urgentneed for antibacterial drugs that have fewer side effects than antibiotics. myrtus communis is amedicinal plant which had many uses in traditional medicine. in this study, ethanol leave extractof this plant is tested on acinetobacter baumannii. in the case of antimicrobial evaluation ofplants, one o...

background and objectives: the main aims of this study have been finding out the antibacterial activity and preliminary phytochemical screening of some fern species. methods: the antimicrobial activity of the methanol extracts of polypodium interjectum shivas, polystichum woronowii fomin, polystichum aculeatum (l.) roth., dryopteris affinis (lowe) fraser-jenk, athyrium filix-femina (l.) roth, a...

objective: in this study, antimicrobial activities of an ethanol extract of tribulus terrestris aloneand in combination with capsella bursa-pastoris and glycyrrhiza glabra were examined in vitro against six pathogens namely streptococcus mutans, streptococcus sanguis, actinomyces viscosus, enterococcus faecalis staphylococcus aureus, and escherichia coli. materials and methods: antibacterial ac...

BACKGROUND Streptococcus mutans (ATCC25175) has a profound effect on the incidence of dental decay in the human population. Many studies have been performed to assess the antimicrobial activity of different cements. However, little or no information is available about the antibacterial properties of Type II glass ionomer cement (GIC), Type IX GIC, and AMALGOMER™ ceramic reinforcement (CR). AI...
