Antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of Beluntas leaves on Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Enterococcus faecalis

Abstract: Introduction: Individuals with poor oral health have a greater risk factor for systemic diseases. Caries, periodontal disease, and root canal infections are a common dental and oral diseases caused by dominance of Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Enterococcus faecalis bacteria (S. mutans, P. gingivalis, and E. faecalis). An alternative way to prevent dental and oral diseases is to use herbal medicine as one of the active ingredients for mouthwash or toothpaste. One of the herbs that can be u… Show more

“…Sensitivity to incoming antibacterial compounds may be hindered due to the complex bacterial cell structure in P. gingivalis [46]. This is in line with previous research which shows that Grampositive bacteria have a larger inhibitory zone compared to Gram-negative bacteria [47]. This is due to the structure of E. faecalis in contrast to P. gingivalis.…”

“…The alkaloids can disrupt the amino acid structure of bacterial DNA, leading to bacterial lysis. [ 22 ] Saponins damage the cell membrane and cell wall permeability in the diffusion process, resulting in the release of enzymes, amino acids, nutrients, and water, leading to cell destabilization and cell death. [ 23 ] Tannins form a complex with protein in the cell wall, namely, proline, which can damage the cell wall.…”

“…[ 23 ] Tannins form a complex with protein in the cell wall, namely, proline, which can damage the cell wall. [ 22 ] The most abundant phenolic compound in M. indica L leaves is mangiferin. Mangiferin belongs to the xanthone C-glucosyl group, which can damage cell structure and cell membranes and inhibit bacterial protein synthesis.…”

“…The leaf extract was evaluated for antibacterial potential (concentration 2.5 to 6.5%) towards E. faecalis, P. gingivalis, F. nucleatum, and S. mutans, which are accountable for root canal infections, periodontal disease, and caries. It showed significant growth inhibition towards E. faecalis (inhibition zone diameter (IZD) 12.6 mm), followed by S. mutans (IZD 12.2 mm) and P. gingivalis (IZD 12.2 mm) at a concentration of 6.5%, compared to chlorhexidine (IZDs 10.9, 11.4, and 10.6 mm, conc 2%) [126]. It also prohibited biofilm formation and decreased adhesion of E. faecalis and F. nucleatum in the micro-titter plate and auto-aggregation assays, respectively [127].…”
