The aim of this study was to analyze the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of 16 Mediterranean herb extracts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>The extracts were analyzed using High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography. The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration of the extracts from Achillea taygetea<\/jats:italic>, Cistus creticus<\/jats:italic> ssp. creticus<\/jats:italic>, Cistus monspeliensis<\/jats:italic>, Lavandula stoechas<\/jats:italic>, Mentha aquatica<\/jats:italic>, Mentha longifolia<\/jats:italic>, Origanum vulgare<\/jats:italic>, Phlomis cretica<\/jats:italic>, Rosmarinus officinalis<\/jats:italic>, Salvia sclarea<\/jats:italic>, Satureja parnassica<\/jats:italic>, Satureja thymbra<\/jats:italic>, Sideritis euboea<\/jats:italic>, Sideritis syriaca<\/jats:italic>, Stachys spinosa<\/jats:italic>, and Thymus longicaulis<\/jats:italic> were determined against eight oral bacteria and fungus Candida albicans<\/jats:italic>. Microtiter plate test was conducted to evaluate the antibiofilm activity against Streptococcus mutans<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Overall, all tested extracts efficiently suppressed the growth of obligate anaerobic bacteria. When applied at concentrations \u22650.15\u2005mg\/ml, the extracts exhibited moderate to high antibiofilm activity comparable to that of chlorhexidine (CHX) against S. mutans<\/jats:italic>. Interestingly, R. officinalis<\/jats:italic> (MIC: 0.01\u20130.06\u2005mg\/ml) and O. vulgare<\/jats:italic> (MIC: 0.04\u20131.25\u2005mg\/ml) demonstrated the highest antibacterial activity against oral bacteria. Additionally, R. officinalis<\/jats:italic> and L. stoechas<\/jats:italic> significantly inhibited S. mutans<\/jats:italic> biofilm formation at 0.15\u2005mg\/ml.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>The tested plant extracts can be considered as alternative natural antimicrobial and antibiofilm agents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Clinical
