Adherence to the tooth surface by S. mutans is an important step in initiation of dental caries. This study was to examine antibacterial activity and anti-adhesive effect of Scutellaria baicalensis extract against S. mutans. Extracts of S. baicalensis were tested for antimicrobial activities by paper disc methods and radial diffusion assay methods, and bacterial adherence assay using 3 type of hydroxyapatite. The antibacterial level of ethyl acetate extract, IPK-3 on the growth of S. mutans was 15 mg/ml of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The maximum growth of S. mutans in medium added with IPK-3 extract (50 mg/ml) was delayed to 30 hr, while the highest at 4 hr in control medium. The ph values of the control medium was 5.63 at 18 hr, but the media supplemented with IPK-3 extract was ph 6.50 at 1 hr. In adhesive inhibition assay, S. mutans was labelled with the fluorescent indicator DAPI and measured with fluorescence microscope. Adhesion of S. mutans on hydroxyapatite beads was inhibited by IPK-3 extracts. These results suggest that S. baicalensis extract can be used as an effective material for antibacterial activity and adhesive inhibition against S. mutans.,fz XPSET Streptococcus mutans, Antibacterial activity, Bacterial adhesion, Scutellaria baicalensis 서 론 w y y w ³ x e ƒ š 1). t e ³ Streptococcus mutans ) Lactobacillus casei, Actinomyces viscosus, S. sanguis, S. milleri, S. salivarius, S. rattus, S. cricetus 3,4).
