Abstract

In the Present study, the leaf extracts of mangrove plant Avicennia marina revealed the presence of some bioactive components which showed remarkable antibacterial properties. The leaves were dried and extracted thoroughly with methanol. The effects of methanol extracts were found to be inhibiting the growth of some bacterial pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus oralis and Streptococcus rattus. It also showed that the plant parts can be used to treat infections caused by these bacteria. This study also attests its use in traditional medicine to treat various dental infections. The methanolic extracts were highly effective against the isolated bacterial strains and the antioxidant property highlights the potent activity and it is also considered as a natural antioxidants.
