Abstract:The principal etiological agent responsible for dental caries is Streptococcus mutans
(S. mutans). The Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) possesses antioxidant and antibacterial properties that function through the response to oxidative stress, which affects bacterial cell metabolism. This research examined M. oleifera impact on S. mutans growth, toxicity, glucan-binding protein (GBP) expression, and nucleic acid structure. Methods included spectrophotometry for growth analysis, enzyme-l… Show more
