In vitro Activity of Sodium Benzoate Against Clinically Relevant Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium Isolates

The antimicrobial effects of sodium benzoate against Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium were investigated. The $MIC_{90}$ of sodium benzoate were 64 mg/ for E. faecalis and 32 mg/L for E. faecium, while the $MBC_{90}$ were 128 mg/L and 64mg/L, respectively. Although further studies are r...

Summary:The antimicrobial effects of sodium benzoate against Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium were investigated. The $MIC_{90}$ of sodium benzoate were 64 mg/ for E. faecalis and 32 mg/L for E. faecium, while the $MBC_{90}$ were 128 mg/L and 64mg/L, respectively. Although further studies are required for clinical evidence, sodium benzoate seems to be effective against Enterococcus spp.
