This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the active ingredient thymol and a mouthwash (LISTERINE® ZEROTM) on Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans and also their cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in macrophage cultures (RAW 264.7). After determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and Minimum Concentration Microbicide (CMM) by microdilution broth method extract was evaluated the antimicrobial action of thymol and LISTERINE® ZEROTM n biofilm. The cytotoxicity of thymol and LISTERINE® ZEROTM on the cells was evaluated by MTT method and also by quantifying TNF-α by ELISA immunoenzymatic method. Further, genotoxicity is determined by the formation of micronuclei in cells after 24 h of exposure to thymol and the LISTERINE® ZEROTM 1min and ethylmethane sulfonate (positive control). Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey complemented by test and Kruskal Wallis (5% significance level). We obtained favorable results regarding the antimicrobial action of the active ingredient for the microorganisms tested with the CMM 160 mg L-1 effective for S. mutans and S. aureus and 80 mg L-1 for C. albicans to LISTERINE® ZEROTM was effective at levels of 0, 3125 mg L-1, biofilm had a mean of 1.85 ± 0.14 for thymol in S. mutans, 1.90 ± 0.07 to 6.66 ± S. aureus and 0, 17 for C. albicans. The cytotoxicity of thymol was observed above 5 mg L-1, and LISTERINE® ZEROTM was toxic to cells; as genotoxic damage was not observed at the level of DNA. Thus we conclude that the active ingredient thymol, has antimicrobial action in higher concentrations, however that these concentrations has high cellular toxicity, and the LISTERINE® ZEROTM has antimicrobial action in the smallest concentration tested and is cytotoxic
