MBC: 31.3 μg/mL ( Streptococcus sanguinis ), 375.0 μg/mL ( Streptococcus mitis ) and 93.8 μg/mL ( Fusobacterium nucleatum )

Sapienic acid (minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) range, 31.3 to 375.0 μg/mL) is active against Streptococcus sanguinis , Streptococcus mitis , and Fusobacterium nucleatum but not active against Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus , S. marcescens , P. aeruginosa , Corynebacterium bovis , Corynebacterium striatum , and Corynebacterium jeikeium (MBC > 500 μg/mL). Kinetic assays show that killing of S. sanguinis and S. mitis with sapienic acid is gradual and occurred within 24 h.
