The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-bacterial activity of Glycyrrhiza glabra on Enterococcus feacalis. Antibacterial activity of ethanolic root extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra was screened against Enterococcus feacalis, a facultative anaerobic microorganism commonly detected in asymptomatic, persistent endodontic infectionsusing disc diffusion technique. The Minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] and Minimum bactericidal concentration [MBC] of the extracts were also determined. The results of this study showed that the extract at different concentrations exhibited anti-bacterial activity against the bacteria
