Cistus monspeliensis
The ethyl acetate extract exhibited potent antimicrobial activity
against oral pathogens, with MBC values ranging from 0.04 mg / ml
(P. micra ) to 5.00 mg / ml for E. faecalis . It also
demonstrated significant activity against C. albicans . However,
except for the antimicrobial effect of DMSO (as shown in Table 3), the
extract had no impact on E. coli . The most pronounced inhibitory
effect was observed at 0.04 mg / ml on P. micra , closely followed
by 0.08 mg / ml for S. oralis and P. gingivalis . The mean
minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and MBC values for the typical
skin microbe S. aureus were 0.60 mg / ml.
Figure 3 indicates that the biofilm formation of S. mutans was
not influenced by the tested concentrations of the ethyl acetate
extract.
