    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-10-05) Astudillo Aquino, Robert Benjamin; Marroquín García, Lorenzo Enrique
    The aim of this project was to evaluate the inhibitory capacity of a mouthwash based on latex from Croton lechleri (dragon’s blood) on the proliferation of Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175 "in vitro." For the microbiological study, 100% dragon’s blood latex was used, and the agar diffusion method was employed. Sixteen Petri dishes with BHI agar were prepared, each containing a 6 mm diameter well saturated with 0.12% chlorhexidine and dragon’s blood latex. The samples were incubated at 37°C, and inhibition zones were recorded after 24 and 72 hours. Chlorhexidine at 0.12% was used as the positive control for Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175, and distilled water served as the negative control. Data were analyzed using SPSS, and the T-Student statistical test was applied. The conclusion was that the mouthwash based on Croton lechleri latex (dragon’s blood) exhibits antimicrobial activity "in vitro" against Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175 at 24 and 72 hours, with chlorhexidine at 0.12% showing superior antibacterial activity.
