Abstract

Methanolic  extract  of  Psidium  guajava  stem  was  investigated   for   its   antimicrobial   activities   against   five isolated oral pathogen. Among  the  50  sample  collected  from  patients  26.25%  were  identified  as  Staphylococcus spp., 25% as Micrococcus spp., 23.75% Streptococcus spp, 15% Corynebacterium spp and 10%  Proteus  spp.The strongest antimicrobial activity was observed against Micrococcus spp.
