Comparison between Gardenia jasminoides J. Ellis and Celosia cristata Linn. against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans: in vitro study

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) is one of the causes of periodontitis. Although severe periodontitis can be treated locally with chlorhexidine, prolonged usage of the medication can have negative consequences. Consequently, to take over for chlorhexidine, other options are required. The purpose of this study is to determine which plants have a stronger antibacterial effect on Aa as well as if Gardenia jasminoides J. Ellis (GJ) and Celosia cristata Linn. (CC) have any effect at all. G
