摘要：

Background: Zataria multiflora is a medicinal plant with high antimicrobial effects. It is mainly used as an oral specie in food. The present survey was aimed to assess the antimicrobial effects of Z. multiflora-based mouthwash on the microbial community of dental plaques. Methods: Two-hundred dental plaque samples were collected from individuals. Culture technique was used to assess their microbial contamination. Z. multiflora was collected and use in a base of mouthwash in 1% concentration. Antimicrobial effects of Z. multiflora-based mouthwash was examined against isolated bacteria and compared to antibiotic agents using the disk diffusion. Minimum inhibitory concentration of Z. multiflora-based mouthwash was also studied against isolated bacteria. Results: Streptococcus mutans (19%), Enterobacter cloacea (17.50%), and Staphylococcus aureus (15%) were the most commonly identified bacteria amongst the dental plaque samples. H. pylori (8%) had the lowest prevalence. The mean ranges of the diameter of the growth inhibition zones were 5.71 +/- 0.92 (S. aureus against tetracycline) to 15.68 +/- 0.55 (S. mutans against azithromycin) mm. Z. multiflora mouthwash (1%) harbored the highest antimicrobial effects against S. mujtans (15.33 +/- 0.81 mm), and S. aureus (12.01 +/- 1.10 mm), while showed the lowest against E. coli (8.38 +/- 0.46 mm) and E. cloacea (10.52 +/- 0.84 mm). The lowest MIC levels were obtained for S. mutans (2 mg/ml). The highest MIC level was found for E. cloacea (8 mg/ml). The MIC levels of Z. multiflora mouthwash against E. coli and H. pylori bacteria were higher than examined concentrations. Conclusion: Z. multiflora-based mouthwash may be a useful herbal-based mouthwash against bacteria in dental plaque samples.
