Objective: To determine the antimicrobial effect of the extract, essential oil of ginger (zingiber officinale) on strains of Enterococcus faecalis: In vitro study. Materials and methods: This experimental study evaluated the antimicrobial action of E. faecalis (ATCC® 29212). Three groups of 14 samples each were used in Petri boxes, Being A1: hydroalcoholic extract and 4% essential oil, A2: hydroalcoholic extract and essential oil at 5.25% and A3: Hydroalcoholic extract and essential oil at 15%. Each of the groups had a positive control sodium hypochlorite at 5.25%. The Kruskal-Wallis statistical test was applied with a significance level of 5%. Results: Hydroalcoholic extract and 4% essential oil produced an average of 1.46 mm and 0.50 mm inhibition halo. Hydroalcoholic extract and essential oil at 5.25% showed an average of 9.54 mm and 6.00 mm respectively. While hydroalcoholic extract and essential oil at 15% presented an average of 20.36 mm and 14.36 mm, versus sodium hypochlorite giving an average of 21.43 mm. The hydroalcoholic extract at 4% and 5,25% and essential oil in emulsion at 4%, 5,25% and 15% presented a difference with sodium hypochlorite (P≤0.05). There was no difference between 15% hydroalcoholic extract and hypochlorite (P = 0.22). Conclusions: The 15% hydroalcoholic extract has an antimicrobial effect on E. faecalis similar to 5.25% sodium hypochlorite.
