Methods: The anti-microbial activity and minimal inhibitory concentration were measured the agar dilution method.
Results: Platycodon grandiflorum extracts grew in the free agar plates all of the oral microorganisms. In the bark-free Platycodon grandiflorum extracts all the oral microorganisms grew in the free agar plates. Growth was inhibited at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. Oral microorganisms showed an absence of growth at a concentration of 1 mg/ml.
Conclusions: It was confirmed that the extracts of Platycodon grandiflorum having a higher saponin content than the bark ? free Platycodon grandiflorum extract showed excellent antimicrobial effect.
