Inhibition of quorum-sensing-mediated biofilm formation in strains Free

Abstract

The present study investigated plant extracts for their anti-quorum-sensing (QS) potential to inhibit the biofilm formation in strains. The bioassay based on loss of pigment production by 026 and NTL4(pZLR4) was used for initial screening of the extracts. Further, the effect of extracts on the inhibition of QS-mediated biofilm in isolates was evaluated using standard crystal violet assay. The effect on biofilm texture was studied using SYTO9 staining and light and scanning electron microscopy. Among the tested extracts, and at 100 ppm resulted in 78 and 68 % reduction in the production of violacein as well as blue-green colour in both biosensor strains. A higher inhibitory activity (>50 %) on biofilm formation in was observed for and whereas the other extracts possessed moderate (25–50 %) and minimal (<25 %) inhibitory activities. Further, the fluorescent and scanning electron microscopic images indicated a major disruption in the architecture of biofilms of tested strains by . This study points to the possibility of using and as inhibitor of QS-mediated biofilm formation by that could be further explored for novel bioactive molecules to limit the emerging infections of
