Abstract
This study was carried out to develop anticariogenic agents from natural products, the methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of 105 medicinal plants were tested for the antimicrobial activity against a cariogenic bacterium, Streptococcus mutans OMZ 176. Among them, the Aristolochia contorta, Dryopteris crassirhizoma, Eugenia caryophyllata, Hemerocallis fulva, Pinellia ternata, Pyrola japonica, and Scrophularia buergeriana showed significant antimicrobial activity.
