The objective of this study was to determine the inhibitory effect of Vaccinium corymbosum (Blueberry) at 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate against the presence of Streptococcus mutans in an in vitro study in Lima, 2015, at 24 and 48 hours. To this end, Streptococcus mutans strains were isolated from saliva collected from a patient and cultured on Petri dishes containing Blood Agar medium, with 6 mm diameter wells where approximately 100 µl of the 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% extracts, 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate, and distilled water were poured. The plates were incubated at 37°C, including two control plates to check the viability of the bacteria and the sterility of the medium. After incubation, the inhibition halos were measured with a Vernier caliper or ruler at 24 and 48 hours. For data analysis, ANOVA and Dunnett tests were used, showing that 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate had a significantly higher inhibitory effect than the 100% Vaccinium Corymbosum extract (P<0.05), and the 75% and 50% Vaccinium Corymbosum extracts (P<0.05). It was concluded that the inhibitory effect of 100% Vaccinium Corymbosum is lower than that of 75% Vaccinium Corymbosum and very similar to 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate in the bacterial culture of Streptococcus mutans at 24 and 72 hours.
