Objectives: The objective of this study analyzes the effect of propolis extract and propolis candies on Streptococcus sobrinus growth.Methods: S. sobrinus was exposed to propolis extract and propolis candies. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined through spectrophotometric analysis and the S. sobrinus colonies were counted using the standard plate counted method.Result: MIC was 5% and MBC was 10%. S. sobrinus colonies decreased after exposure to propolis extract and propolis candies.
Conclusions:Propolis extract and propolis candies could inhibit the growth of S. sobrinus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
