The Effect of Nonnutritive Sweeteners on the Antimicrobial Activity of Eucalyptus Extracts against Salivary Mutans Streptococci (in-vitro Study)

The eucalyptus tree is an excellent source of antimicrobial agents; it used in many oral cure products. bitter taste these agents could compromise their usage. Therefore, fortifying the extracts with non-nutritive sweeteners be a promising procedure for masking unpleasant taste. This study was vitro evaluation activity (alcoholic and aqueous) against salivary Streptococci mutans. It aimed to investigate effect on S. test microbes were sensitive different concentrations alcoholic aqueous extract, inhibition zone increased as concentration increased. All Mutans isolates killed at 75 mg/ml extract 175 extracts. In this experiment, up 15% stevia 5% sucralose did not affect extract. While 1% interfere An increase experiment appeared
