Endemic Malagasy Dalbergia species inhibit quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1
1 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Various species of the plant genus Dalbergia are traditionally used as medicine for sundry ailments and some of them have been shown recently to quench the virulence of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Cell-to-cell communication mechanisms, quorum sensing (QS) in particular, are key regulators of virulence in many pathogenic bacteria. Screening n-hexane extracts of leaves, roots and bark of endemic...
