Aim: To evaluate Anti-Microbial Activity of taxifolin isolated from Acacia catechu leaf extract against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Objectives: The study is to determine the antimicrobial activity of taxifolin isolated Acacia catechu leaf extract against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Background: An anti microbial is a agent that kills or inhibits the growth of micro organism such as bacteria and fungi. Acacia catechu also commonly called Mimosa catechu, is a deciduous, thorny tree which grows up to 15 m (50 ft) in height. Acacia catechu traditionally used for curing many diseases and commonly for mother and child healthcare. Taxifolin is the main constituent of Acacia catechu which possesses antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity.

Reason: This study is to evaluate the anti microbial activity of Acacia catechu against micro organisms such as Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus. This may help in development of health products without artificial chemical agent.
