Abstract: | The susceptibility of Viridans streptococci to leaf extracts of Mangifera indica was studied on 53 clinical isolates from
39 patients. All the isolates were found to be susceptible to both water and methanol extract of M. indica leaves. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of methanol extract for all isolates were <50 mg/mL and MIC of water extract
for all isolates were <200 mg/mL. Methanol extract was found to have better action against Viridans streptococci than water
extract. |
