Antimicrobial Activity of Syzygium aromaticum and Its Bud Oil Against Dental Cares Causing Microorganisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
The antimicrobial activity of clove and clove bud oil were investigated by agar well diffusion method against five dental caries causing microorganisms namely Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus acidophilus (bacteria), Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast). The results indicated that clove and clove oil have a potent antimicrobial activity against the tested dental caries causing microorganisms. The highest antimicrobial activity of clove was found against Saccharomyces cerevisiae (25.32mm) in methanolic extract and an MIC of 50mg/ml and that of clove oil was found against Streptococcus mutans (34.32mm) with a MIC value of 3.125mg/ml. This study has shown the importance of clove and clove oil and indicated that clove and clove bud oil can be used as an antimicrobial agent to cure dental caries.
