Abstract
Abstract:
Streptococcus mutans is a normal flora bacteria found in human oral cavity,
which cause dental caries and bad breathe oder. This project considered as an explorer
study for the inhibitory effect of Cyperus rotundus L. crude extract on S. mutans and
Candida albicans by agar well diffusion method.
Extract of plant with three concentrations (8,16and 32 fold dilution of the MIC)
were prepared and investigated for antibacterial activity. The minimal inhibitory
concentration (MIC) against S. mutans of crude extract was 5 mg/ml. Crude extract
also tested for antimicrobial susceptibility compared with standard antibiotic
kanamycin. The three concentrations of the extract showed high effect on the growth
of Streptococcus mutans. The means of inhibition zone diameters were 20.1, 23.4, and
25.2 mm for Streptococcus mutans. The largest inhibition zone 25.2 mm in diameter
