Spanish researchers evaluated the antimicrobial activity of red wine and polyphenol-rich enological extracts against periodontal pathogens, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Fusobacterium nucleatum, as well as total bacteria growing in an in vitro oral biofilm static model. Their findings were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that red wine and enological extracts are promising antimicrobial agents for the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases.
