Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of a few medicinal plants against oral bacteria. Materials and Methods: Salvia officinalis, Lippie citriodora, Mentha piperita, Echinacea purpurea and Matricaria chamomilla were extracted. Isolates from oral cavity were identified by microbiological and molecular methods. Minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration were determined by Broth microdilution method. The anti-biofilm activity of essential oils and extracts investigated and as a mixture by Broth dilution method. Toxicity of the herbal mixture was assayed by in Wistar rats treated with intradermal injection. Wound healing properties of the herbal mixture against infected wounds on the back of the rats were investigated. Anti-biofilm activity was investigated on tooth surfaces. Bacterial structure changes and finestructure study were performed by light microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy. Results: The lowest MIC and MBC for the plant mixtures was 0.0002 mg/ml belonged to Streptococcus pyogenes and the highest values (0.025 mg/ml) belonged to Eikenella corrodens. The essential oils of S.officinalis, L.citriodora and M.piperita, but not E.purpurea and M.chamomilla extracts, were able to remove the biofilms created by the studied bacteria. The herbal mixture was able to completely heal the wound skin of rats in 21 days (p<0.05 compared to control). The mixture was able to decompose the teeth biofilm in 45 seconds. The results of light and electron microscopy showed that the bacterial structure exposed to the herbal mixture was deformed. Conclusion: It was concluded that the essential oils of S.officinalis, L.citriodora and M.piperita had significant effects on inhibition of oral bacteria biofilm formation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
