BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to evaluate in vitro antibacterial potential of ethanolic extract of Calotropis gigentica. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The inhibitory effect of the ethanolic extract was tested against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli casei by using disc diffusion method. RESULTS: Ethanolic extract of Calotropis gigentica showed 16 mm and 14 mm of minimum inhibition zone at 1.25% concentration for S. mutans and lactobacilli, respectively. CONCLUSION: Calotropis gigentica was found to effective against S. mutans and lactobacilli.
