Enterococcus faecalis antimicrobials effective against

Chlorhexidine initially was used as a general disinfectant because of its broad antibacterial action (9). It was later shown to inhibit dental caries and reduce the formation of dental plaque (10). In vitro inhibition studies have shown chlorhexidine to be effective against species found in infected root canals such as Enterococcus faecalis (11) and Streptococcus mutans (12), and because of this, it was introduced as an endodontic irrigant in the early 1960 s (10). Chlorhexidine is increasingly being incorporated into endodontic materials due to its ability to increase antimicrobial properties and improve prognosis. 

In this present study, GEMOSIL demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans but failed to demonstrate antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus faecalis (Table 2). This study also evaluated the effect of antimicrobial activity when...
