Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the
anti bacterial activity of Glycyrrhiza glabra on
selected oral microbes. Antibacterial activity of
ethanolic root extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra was
screened against Streptococcus mutans,
streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus salivarius,
Streptococcus mitis, and Lactobacillus
acidophilus using disc diffusion technique. The
Minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] and
Minimum bactericidal concentration [MBC] of the
extracts were also determined. The results of this
study showed that the extracts at different
concentrations exhibited anti bacterial activity
against the bacterial species tested.
