In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Pomegranate Juice and Peel Extracts on Cariogenic Bacteria

Figure 1

Effect of pomegranate juice extracts on (a) growth of S. mutans at different concentration (0, 20, 30, and 40 μg/μl); (b) survival of S. mutans at different concentration (0, 20, 30, and 40 μg/μl); (c) growth of R. dentocariosa at different concentration (0, 20, 30, 60, and 140 μg/μl); (d) survival of R. dentocariosa at different concentration (0, 20, 30, 60, and 140 μg/μl). The experiments were performed in triplicate and statistical significance was examined by the two-way ANOVA test with a Bonferroni correction. Results are indicated as means ± SDs. Asterisks indicate statistical significance (; ; ).
