“…According to our findings highest inhibitory potential of pomegranate peels extract against A. parasiticus and A. flavus was found to be comparable with the earlier report of Orak et al 36 who also noticed extraordinary inhibitory effect for different genotypes of pomegranate peels against A. parasiticus. According to Reddy et al 37 report antifungal activity of pomegranate may be attributed to the presence of ellagic acid and punicalagins in pomegranate juice byproducts.…”

“…The reason for this is likely due to the fact that Gram-positive bacteria contain an outer peptidoglycan layer that is an ineffective permeability barrier. Similar results were obtained from a research carried on Strawberry tree leaves (Orak et al, 2011), in which it was found that leaf extracts inhibited only Gram-positive bacteria but not Gram-negative bacteria. The above results clearly show that C. esculentus L. leaves flavonoids may be a potential source of broad spectrum of antibacterial agents.…”

“…Various parts of this plant (bark, flowers, and leaves) showed good activity against Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria, but no anti-Candida activity was found under the experimental setting (Table 2). Few studies have reported the antimicrobial activity of the species A. andrachne [8], although many reports indicated variable antimicrobial activities in other species such as A. unedo and A. menziesii [16,17].…”

Introduction: Methanolic extracts of six plants (Arbutus andrachne, Chrysanthemum coronarium, Inula viscosa, Origanum syriacum, Punica granatum, and Rosmarinus officinalis) used in traditional medicine for the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections were evaluated. The present study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity of some medicinal plants in lowering the risk of opportunistic infections of the oral cavity caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans. Extracts were evaluated separately and in a mixture. Methodology: The methanolic plant extracts were tested against three opportunistic microorganisms by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). They were also evaluated for their ability to suppress the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 while not suppressing the release of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 from peripheral blood mononuclear cells using ELISA. Results: All extracts showed both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. However, O. syriacum exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity for the three microorganisms among all of the tested extracts (MIC S. aureus: 1 mg/mL; P. aeruginosa: 2 mg/mL; and C. albicans: 1 mg/mL). The extracts inhibited the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 with apparent dose-dependent responses while they attenuated the secretion of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. The mixture of O. syriacum and R. officinalis showed an anti-inflammatory effect, with a synergistic antimicrobial effect. Conclusion: These findings support the idea that a diet rich in plants and herbs may contribute to the reduction of inflammation and microbial growth and may also be preventive against various infections, including those related to the oral cavity.
