Evaluation of the antimicrobial properties of eel skin mucus from monopterus albus against selected oral pathogens and identification of the anti-oral bioactive compounds using LC-QTOF-MS

Despite great achievements in the oral health of populations globally, oral health problems remain in many communities all over the world, thus our study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Monopterus albus skin mucus against selected oral pathogens. Monopterus albus is Asian swamp eel w...

Monopterus albus is Asian swamp eel with elongated body like snakes. Their skin covered with a thick layer of mucus.

Enterococcus faecalis showed the highest activity while Candida albicans showed the lowest activity.
