Antibacterial activities of Chinese medicine cinnamicaldehyde against main periodontal pathogens
Objective: To evaluate the antibacterial activity of cinnamicaldehyde against the main periodontal pathogens in vitro.Methods:Agar dilution method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing was used to determine the minimal inhibitive concentration(MIC) of cinnamicaldehyde against the main periodontal pathogen.Results:The growth of 50 bacteria were inhibited completely by cinnamicaldehyde;the MIC of it on V.parvula were(139.000±0.026) mg/L and on P.propionicum were(128.000±0.000) mg/L;the MIC of it on L.buccalis were(213.000±0.027) mg/L
the MIC of S.mutans were(213.000±0.021) mg/L
he MIC of A.viscosus were(148.000±0.021) mg/L.Conclusion:Cinnamicaldehyde has significant antibacterial activities on the main periodontal pathogens.
