“…Studies in literature reported that eugenol can effectively suppress the virulence of S. mutans in vitro by reducing the total mass of microorganisms and by virtue of its anti-adherence against this bacterium [56]. Eugenol at sub-MIC concentrations has the ability to inhibit the formation of adhesive glucans synthesised by glucosyltransferases (GTFs) that provide specific binding sites for bacterial colonisation on the tooth surface and binding to each other [55].…”

AbstractObjectives: Eugenol has been used in dentistry due to its ability to inhibit the growth of a range of microorganisms, including facultative anaerobes commonly isolated from infected root canals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the experimental composites containing eugenyl methacrylate monomer (EgMA), a polymeric derivative of eugenol, against a range of oral bacteria, commonly associated with failure of coronal and endodontic restorations. In vitro composite behaviour and wettability were also studied in conjunction with their antibacterial activity.

This study has shown the synergistic effect of four components of essential oil (thymol, eugenol, berberine and cinnamaldehyde) combined with streptomycin on planktonic and biofilm-associated food-borne pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Typhimurium. These findings indicate that combination of specific components of essential oils with streptomycin may provide alternative methods to overcome the problem of food-borne bacteria both in suspension and in biofilm.

“…The effect in vitro of eugenol on the cariogenic properties of S. mutans was demonstrated previously by Xu et al (2013). Eugenol inhibited, significantly, the acid production from carbohydrate fermentation, and, as well as, the synthesis of water-insoluble glucans through glucosyltransferases (Gtf) of S. mutans inhibition (Li et al, 2012).…”

The use of bioactive compounds as anti-infective coating on biomaterial surfaces has been studied as a tool against microbial adhesion and the establishment of biofilms. The objective of this work was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of eugenol, specifically the ability to interact with cotton suture threads for preventing adhesion and biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of eugenol were determined according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), which showed respective concentration values of 250 and 1000 μg/ml. In addition, eugenol displayed marked activity against to biofilm formation in 96-well polystyrene plates against several strains from the Streptococcus genus, even at lower than bacteriostatic concentrations between 15 to 250 μg/ml. Moreover, eugenol formed an effective covering on cotton-suture surfaces that inhibited cell adhesion, which decreased the S. mutans (ATCC 25175) biofilm development, according to biomass and metabolic rate, quantified by crystal violet staining and XTT reduction, respectively. This research may help to explore the eugenol molecule as an antifouling coating on surfaces, bringing a new perspective to the prevention of infections associated with biomaterials.
