Abstrakt:	The aim was to compare the in-vitro antibacterial effectiveness of two herbal extracts (a) Saussurea-costus ( S. costus ) and (b) Melaleuca-alternifolia ( M. alternifolia ) against Porphyromonas gingivalis ( P. gingivalis ), Streptococcus mutans ( S. mutans ) and Enterococcus faecalis ( E. faecalis ). Aqueous extracts from M . alternifolia were prepared by adding 2 grams of S. costus and M. alternifolia , respectively to 100 ml distilled water. Bacterial strains of P. gingivalis, E. faecalis and S. mutans were treated into 3 groups. In groups 1 and 2, bacterial strains were treated with aqueous extracts of S. costus and M. alternifolia , respectively. In the control-group, bacterial strains were exposed to distilled water. Antibacterial activity of the samples and nanoparticles was determined. The minimum-inhibitory-concentration (MIC) values were determined using the microdilution method. P < 0.01 was considered statistically significant. The MIC for all bacterial strains treated with S. costus was significantly higher than that of M . alternifolia ( P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in MIC for strains of P. gingivalis, E. faecalis and S. mutans treated with S. costus . For bacterial strains treated with M . alternifolia , the MIC was significantly higher for P. gingivalis compared with E. faecalis and S. mutans strains ( P < 0.01). There was no difference in MIC for E. faecalis and S. mutans strains treated with M . alternifolia . The in-vitro antibacterial efficacy of M. alternifolia is higher than S. costus against P. gingivalis, E. faecalis and S. mutans . Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
