| Summary: | El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar la actividad antimicrobiana del extracto de la hoja de Erythroxylum novogranatense var. truxillense frente a bacterias relacionadas directamente con caries dental, a saber Streptococus mutans y Lactobacillus casei. Mediante la técnica de maceración alcohólica, filtrado y evaporación a 40 ˚C del la solución alcohólica, se obtuvo los principios activos totales del Erythroxylum novogranatense var. truxillense. Se utilizó 20 µl de agua destilada y alcohol de 96˚, como control negativo y positivo respectivamente.
Al realizar las pruebas de sensibilidad se obtuvieron los siguientes resultados: Los diámetros de los halos de inhibición para S. mutans tuvieron una media de 34.4mm±2.12mm, y para el caso de L. casei, 33.7mm±3.40mm. Y con respecto a la medida de los halos de inhibición del control negativo y positivo se obtuvo una medida de 00 mm en todos los cultivos para el agua destilada y de 11.4mm±2.12mm en el caso del alcohol a 96°. Encontrándose que éstos difieren en forma estadísticamente significativa al 95% de confianza. Palabras claves: coca, efecto antimicrobiano, Erythroxylum novogranatense var. truxillense, extracto alcohólico, bacterias cariogénicas, Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus casei. === The aim of the investigation was to determine the antimicrobial activity of the Erythroxylum novogranatense var. truxillense extract against teeth caries bacteria related, which are Streptococus mutans and Lactobacillus casei. Through an alcoholic oxidation technique, filtered and vapored at 40 ˚C, it was obtained the main actives components of Erythroxylum novogranatense var. truxillense. Sterilized water was used as negative control, and 96˚ alcohol as the positive one.
The disk diffusion method was performed to test antimicrobial activity. The following results were obtained during the performance of the sensibility tests: For S. mutans there was an average inhibiting halo of 34.4mm±2.12mm, and 33.7mm±3.40mm for L. casei. For control inhibition halos (positive and negative) there was an 00 mm in distilled water and 11.4mm±2.12mm for 96° alcohol. This research was made with a 95% of statistics confidence and significant differences were found. Key words: Coca, antimicrobial effect, Erythroxylum novogranatense var. truxillens, Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus casei.
