Abstract EN
Hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol and methanol extracts of Psidium guajava, Terminalia chebula, Mimusops elengi and Achyranthes aspera were tested against the dental caries causing bacteria Streptococcus mutans and fungus Candida albicans isolated from caries infected patients.
All the four extracts of P.
guajava showed activity against both S.
mutans and C.
albicans.
Maximum zone of inhibition was observed in ethyl acetate of P.
guajava.
The four extracts of T.
chebula and M.
elengi showed antibacterial activity against S.
mutans.
M.
elengi extracts and ethanol extract of T.
chebula did not show any antifungal activity against C.
albicans.
Except for the hexane extract of A.
aspera, the other three extracts showed activity against the tested microbes.
The ethyl acetate P.
guajava leaf extract showed the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against S.
mutans to be <0.076 mg/mL in both MHB and BHI.
The P.
guajava ethyl acetate extract was subjected to GC-MS.
