It could be a potential source of antimicrobial agents. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the fruits extract against &lt;em&gt;Streptococcus mutans.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Agar diffusion and microdilution methods were used for evaluation of the antibacterial activity and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extract. Protein and ion leakage from the bacterial cells induced by the extract was analyzed spectrophotometrically. The morphological change was determined using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Black mulberry (BM) fruits extract showed antibacterial activity against &lt;em&gt;S. mutans&lt;/em&gt; with MIC value of 8 mg/mL, as well as contributed to the aforementioned leakage. Meanwhile, cellular membrane damage was observed, indicating that the extract might inhibit growth of the bacteria. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;BM extract could be a potential raw material for herbal medicine, especially anticaries which has antibacterial activity.&lt;/p&gt;

This study was done to determine the antibacterial and antifungal activities of E.L. root extract against three common oral pathogens. &lt;strong&gt;Material and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The microorganisms used were &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans, Streptococcus mutans &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Lactobacillus casei.&lt;/em&gt; E.L root was extracted using soxhlet method. Disc diffusion assay was conducted using extract concentration of 200 mg/ml. Nystatin and Ampicillin were used as positive control for fungal and bacterial tests respectively. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was done to determine the lowest inhibitory concentration of the extract on the microorganisms. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;E.L extract inhibited the growth of Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans at a concentration of 200 mg/ ml with a zone of inhibition of 16.0 ± 3.0 mm and 7.0 ± 1.0 mm respectively. There was no antimicrobial effect of the extract on Lactobacillus casei. The MIC of E.L extract against both Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans was 25 mg/ml. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The results from this study revealed the potential use of Eurycoma longifolia jack as an antimicrobial agent which can be used to produce new oral care products.&lt;/p&gt;

This study aimed to investigate the effects of the ethanolic extracts of &lt;em&gt;Psidium guajava&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Glycyrrhiza glabra&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Syzygium aromaticum&lt;/em&gt; against cariogenic properties of &lt;em&gt;Streptococcus mutans&lt;/em&gt;. These medicinal plants have been used traditionally as the ingredients in the herbal mouthwash for the management of dental caries. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The 95% ethanolic extracts of these medicinal plants were prepared and their phytochemical contents were analyzed by using thin layer chromatography-densitometry. Antibacterial activities of the extracts against &lt;em&gt;S. mutans&lt;/em&gt; were evaluated according to broth dilution method. The effects of the extracts against cariogenic properties of &lt;em&gt;S. mutans&lt;/em&gt;, which are surface adherence, biofilm formation and acid production, were also investigated. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The biological active constituents, quercetin, glycyrrhizic acid and eugenol, were found in &lt;em&gt;P. guajava, G. glabra and S. aromaticum&lt;/em&gt;, respectively. The three extracts possessed anti-bacterial activity against&lt;em&gt; S. mutans&lt;/em&gt; with the MICs of 1.562, 0.195 and 1.562 mg/mL, respectively. The extracts at every concentration tested (at lower than their MICs) significantly inhibited cariogenic properties of &lt;em&gt;S. mutans&lt;/em&gt;, which included inhibitions against surface adherence, biofilm formation and acid production. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The ethanolic extracts of guava leaves, licorice roots and cloves produced anti-bacterial and anti-cariogenic activities against &lt;em&gt;S. mutans&lt;/em&gt;. These plant extracts thus can potentially be developed as a product for the prevention of dental caries in the near future.&lt;/p&gt;

Among the microorganisms presents in the oral microbiota, &lt;em&gt;Streptococcus mutans&lt;/em&gt; can form biofilm on the tooth surface in the presence of dietary carbohydrates. This study aimed to evaluate the bactericidal kinetics and antibiofilm efficacy of ent-pimara-8(14),15-dien-19-oic acid (compound 1) and ent-8(14),15-pimaradien-3&amp;beta;-ol (compound 2) obtained from &lt;em&gt;Viguiera arenaria &lt;/em&gt;against oral pathogens; this study also aimed to determine the effect of these compounds on the morphology and architecture of the &lt;em&gt;S. mutans&lt;/em&gt; biofilm by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The bactericidal kinetics revealed different results depending on the tested bacteria. Compound 1 eliminated the viable bacteria within 24 hs of incubation. In the antibiofilm assay, compound 1 displayed promising results against S. mitis (ATCC 49456 and clinical isolate) and &lt;em&gt;L. casei&lt;/em&gt; (clinical isolate), whereas compound 2 was not active at the evaluated concentrations. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Compound 1 is an important metabolite in the search for new antibacterial agents against cariogenic bacteria both in the sessile and planktonic modes. The SEM image of &lt;em&gt;Streptococcus mutans&lt;/em&gt; in the presence of compound 1 suggested that this metabolite acts by disrupting the bacterial membrane disrupting the bacterial membrane and/or cell wall and causing microrganism death.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">429</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Juarez Henrique Ferreira&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Rafael Martinez Garcia&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Fariza Abr&amp;atilde;o&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Yadira Arnet Fernandez&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Regina Helena Pires&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, S&amp;eacute;rgio Ricardo Ambr&amp;oacute;sio&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Rodrigo Cassio Sola Veneziani&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Carlos Henrique Gomes Martins&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
