The aim of this study was to determine the in vitro antibacterial effect of different concentrations of alcoholic extract of Caesalpinia spinosa “tara” (EACS) by disk diffusion method was used mixed salivary flora, to address them to the solutions of 6, 25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 75 mg/mL of EACS and positive controls compared with 0.12% chlorhexidine and alcohol 70 °. It was determined that the antibacterial effect of EACS on salivary mixed flora is more active in direct proportion to its concentration. Statistical analysis by Kruskal-Wallis test found significant differences at the level of 0,000 between different concentrations of the EACS, using the Mann - Whitney test, significant differences exist between the level of 0,000 and the positive control EACS Chlorhexidine Alcohol 0.12 % and 70 °. Furthermore EACS analysis by phytochemistry screening showed high presence of tannins, flav...

La tara es una planta oriunda del Perú, la cual es más usada en la industria peletera o en la producción de goma de tara. Esta planta tiene amplia utilización empírica, por sus propiedades curativas, en: infecciones bronquiales, como antiinflamatorio, casos de sinusitis; infecciones vaginales y micóticas, heridas crónicas y piezas dentales con caries dental. Tiene escasos estudios científicos que lo comprueben. Por lo tanto el uso empírico de la tara en el tratamiento de infecciones bronquiales nos permite deducir que esta planta tiene efecto antibacteriano sobre las bacterias que lo causan. Teniendo en cuenta que nuestra población necesita alternativas de costo reducido y alto beneficio para el tratamiento de lesiones que lo haría accesible a las clases más populares. Se ha realizado una investigación dirigida a comprobar el efecto antibacteriano de la tara. En concordancia...
