Abstract
Twenty four bacterial strains were isolated and identified from human oral cavities. These strains were identified as genus 8 Moraxella, 1 Neisseria, 1 Proteus, 6 Bacillus, 4 Staphylococcus, 3 Branhamella and 1 Enterobacter. Two genuses are Gram-positive and four genuses are Gram-negative. In order to search for antimicrobial substances from natural plants, twenty one plant materials being made of perilla leaf as well as spices including garlic and ginger were used. The effects of these plant juices on the growth of oral bacterial strains were investigated. Only garlic juice inhibited the growth of seventeen bacterial strains belonging to 6 kinds of genus.
