Antibacterial effect of the Lonicera japonica extract on oral microorganisms

초록

In this study, we aim to verify the antibacterial effect of Lonicera japonica extract in an attempt to reduce side effects. To examine the antibacterial effect of Lonicera japonica extract, paper disc method was used for the measurement. To examine the antibacterial effect of Lonicera japonica extract, paper disc method was used for the measurement. It showed antibacterial activity against S.mutans with 14mm inhibition at 250mg/disc concentration. For adhesivity, it showed an inhibitory effect of 71.4% at 200mg/ml concentration, 28% at 100mg/ml, 20% at 50mg/ml, and 11.4% at 25mg/ml. We could see that it was dependent on the concentration of Lonicera japonica, and confirmed definite inhibitory effect at 200mg/ml concentration. When we measured the pH changes according to inhibition of acid production, we confirmed that Lonicera japonica extract inhibited acid production. According to the results of the present study, enhancing the advantage of natural substance Lonicera japonica can serve an excellent antibacterial agent for dental caries. © Research India Publications.
