Table 2
Mean MIC values of ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts from flesh, seed, and mace of Myristica fragrans against oral pathogens.
| | | | Mean minimum inhibitory concentration | | Bacteria species | Extracts | (MIC) value ± 0.00 (SD) (mg/mL) | | | | Flesh | Seed | Mace |
| | Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175 | Ethyl acetate | 1.25 | 20 | ND | | Ethanol | 10 | 10 | 20 | | Streptococcus mitis ATCC 6249 | Ethyl acetate | 0.625 | 20 | 20 | | Ethanol | 5 | 5 | 5 | | Streptococcus salivarius ATCC 13419 | Ethyl acetate | 0.625 | 80 | ND | | Ethanol | 5 | 20 | 40 | | Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans ATCC 29522 | Ethyl acetate | 1.25 | 20 | 20 | | Ethanol | 10 | 20 | 40 | | Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 | Ethyl acetate | 1.25 | 160 | ND | | Ethanol | 5 | 10 | 20 | | Fusobacterium nucleatum ATCC 25586 | Ethyl acetate | ND | ND | ND | | Ethanol | ND | ND | ND |
