TL;DR: Essential oils and ethanolic extracts from the leaves and/or roots of 35 medicinal plants commonly used in Brazil were screened for anti-Candida albicans activity and chemical analyses showed the presence of compounds with known antimicrobial activity.

TL;DR: Most essential oil studied were effective against Enterococcus faecium and Salmonella cholerasuis and moderate inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus while only A. tryphila and M. piperita were able to control the yeast Candida albicans.

TL;DR: The significant antibacterial activity of Cymbopogon martinii oil suggests that they could serve as a source for compounds with therapeutic potential and show good potential to kill Escherichia coli with moderate to strong inhibition.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the cariostatic properties of propolis type 6 are related to its effect on acid production and acid tolerance of cariogenic streptococci; the biological activities may be attributed to its high content of fatty acids.

TL;DR: Garlic and tea tree oil might be an alternative to chlorhexidine in fighters against oral microorganisms and antimicrobial activity against mutans streptococci and other oralmicroorganisms.
