| abstract Throughout all medical traditions, folk medicine has utilized plants since ancient times. Oral hygiene folklore uses a variety of herbs and plant-derived antibacterial components. Portulaca oleracea extracts, both water and ethanolic, were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against a range of microbial strains, including four bacterial species: Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, the extracts were tested against two fungal species, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium exosporium, as well as Candida albicans.Throughout all medical traditions, folk medicine has utilized plants since ancient times.
