Salvia sclarea
Table 10 presents the inhibitory effect of the ethyl acetate extract on
all obligate anaerobic bacteria. The MIC values ranged from 0.04 mg / ml
(P. gingivalis , P. micra ) to 0.15 mg / ml (F.
nucleatum ). Some other bacterial strains were inhibited at
concentrations ranging from 0.15 mg / ml (S. oralis ) to 5.00 mg /
ml (S . sobrinus ). The MBC values demonstrated a fatal
reduction in bacterial growth, ranging from 0.08 mg / ml (P.
gingivalis , P. intermedia , P. micra ) to 10.00 mg / ml
(S. sobrinus ), with no measurable bactericidal reduction observed
for E. faecalis . In terms of the impact of DMSO, the extract did
not show noteworthy effects on S. mutans , E. coli , andC. albicans .
Figure 3 indicates that the ethyl acetate extract of Salvia sclarea had
no detectable effect on biofilm accumulation.
