Minimum bactericidal concentration MBC from the oily and ethanolic phases against Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis strains.

Bacterial strainPhaseResults

Streptococcus mutans OilyBactericidal activity from 500–125 µg/mL; lower concentrations were bacteriostatic.
EthanolicBactericidal activity from 500–250  g/mL; lower concentrations were bacteriostatic.

Porphyromonas gingivalis OilyIt showed bacteriostatic activity at all concentrations.
EthanolicIt showed bacteriostatic activity at all concentrations.
