| description |
Mimusops elengi ( Linn.) extracts were evaluated for antibacterial activity against human pathogenic bacterial strain of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The methanolic extract showed the maximum activity against Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis ( 16 mm) and petroleum ether extract showed the minimum activity against Streptococcus mutans ( 9 mm) by well diffusion method. The use of M. elengi extracts as a potential antibacterial agent and the treatment of dental caries has been suggested.
