BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated and compared the antimicrobial efficacy and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of chlorhexidine 0.12% and extracts of aloe vera and mushroom against Streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus. MATERIALS & METHODOLOGY: The agar disc diffusion and broth micro dilution method was used to check the antimicrobial activity of 0.12% chlorhexidine and aqueous extracts of two medicinal plants. The test samples were divided as follows- Streptococcus mutans, group I: chlorhexidine, group II: Aloe vera and group III: Mushroom. Lactobacillus, Group I: chlorhexidine, group II: Aloe vera extract and group III: Mushroom extract. The zone of inhibition and MIC values were tabulated and the data was statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Bonferroni post- hoc tests. RESULTS: Chlorhexidine shows maximum antibacterial action against Streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus followed by mushroom extract and aloe veraextracts with the zone of inhibition of (20.3mm/ 24.13), (17.03/ 16.05), (14.09/14.26) respectively. Both the extracts had MIC value of 80µg/ ml and chlorhexidine was 40µg/ml. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this in- vitro study, it can be concluded that all the herbal extracts tested in this study demonstrated antibacterial activity against MS and lactobacillus. Chlorhexidine showed maximum antibacterial action against Streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus followed by mushroom extract and then aloe veraextracts with the zone of inhibition of (20.3mm/24.13), (17.03/ 16.05), (14.09/14.26) respectively. Herbal products have potent antimicrobial activity that can be looked at as an alternative to chlorhexidine. However, further in vitro and long-term in vivo studies are recommended to confirm and correlate the findings of this study clinically.
