The inhibitor), effect of hop bract polyphenols (HBP) on cariogenic streptococci was investigated. It wu'as fbund that the high molecular weight polyphenol (estimated about 36,OeO-40,OOO) inhibited the cellular adherence of Streptoeoccus mutans MT8148 (serotype C) and Streptoeoeeus sobrinus ATCC 33478 (serotype g) at msuch smaller concentrations than the polyphenols extracted from oe)ong tea or...
متن کاملIn vitro antimicrobial activities against cariogenic streptococci and their antioxidant capacities: A comparative study of green tea versus different herbs.
The antimicrobial activity against cariogenic bacteria, total antioxidant capacity and phenolic constituents of methanolic extracts from 11 herbs were investigated and compared with those of green tea (Camellia sinensis). Among the 12 tested herbs, eight herbal extracts could inhibit the growth of Streptococcus sanguinis. Jasmine, jiaogulan, and lemongrass were the most potent, with minimum inh...
متن کاملAnti-cariogenic effects of polyphenols from plant stimulant beverages (cocoa, coffee, tea).
Polyphenols occurring in cocoa, coffee and tea can have a role in the prevention of cariogenic processes, due to their antibacterial action. Cocoa polyphenol pentamers significantly reduce biofilm formation and acid production by Streptococcus mutans and S. sanguinis. In the same way, trigonelline, caffeine and chlorogenic acid occurring in green and roasted coffee interfere with S. mutans adso...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of in-vitro effects of Brazilian green propolis and Baccharis dracunculifolia extracts on cariogenic factors of Streptococcus mutans.
Streptococcus mutans triggers dental caries establishment by two major factors: synthesis of organic acids, which demineralize dental enamel, and synthesis of glucans, which mediate the attachment of bacteria to the tooth surface. Propolis is a natural product that may prevent dental caries. Baccharis dracunculifolia DC (Asteraceae), a native plant from Brazil, is the most important botanical o...
متن کاملThe study on antimicrobial effect of three ethanolic, methanolic and aqueous extracts of green tea in comparison to chlorhexidine mouthwash on Iranian strain of bacteria Streptococcus mutans PTCC 1683
Abstract Background and aim: Dental caries is a major health problem nowadays. polyphenolic compounds of tea can exert its anti-cariogenic effects by affecting the cariogenic Streptococcus Mutans bacteria. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effect of ethanolic, methanolic and aqueous extracts of green tea in comparison with chlorhexidine on Iranian strain of this bacteri...
