Effects of phenol and natural phenolic compounds on biofilm formation byPseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract: A biofilm is formed as a result of adhesion of microorganisms to various surfaces with the production of extracellular polymers (polysaccharides and proteins). Biofilms cause serious problems in the chemical, medical and pharmaceutical industries. Recent findings indicate that some natural phenolic compounds found in plants have an anti-biofouling effect on biofilm formation by Gram-negative bacteria. The anti-biofouling activities of 14 selected phenol and natural phenolic compounds were tested against Pseudo… Show more

“…In terms of biofilm removal, moderate efficacy was only detected for FSA (P. fluorescens single biofilms) and FA (B. cereus and P. fluorescens single biofilms). These results are in accordance with the findings of Jagani et al (2009). These authors compared the effects of various natural phenolic compounds on P. aeruginosa biofilm removal, showing that SA caused a moderate reduction (45%) when compared to other molecules.…”

“…There are studies on the inhibition of planktonic cell growth with phenolic products (Fernández et al, 1996;PuupponenPimiä et al, 2001;Cueva et al, 2010;Saavedra et al, 2010). However, studies on their biofilm control potential are scarce (Furiga et al, 2008;Jagani et al, 2009;Ergün et al, 2011;Borges et al, 2012). Furiga et al (2008) tested compounds from red wine, grape marc, and pine bark, and demonstrated interesting anti-plaque activity in vitro against Streptococcus mutans .…”

“…Therefore, our results revealed that bioactive quercetin kills the bacteria in suspension and prevents biofilm formation. As a result, the antibacterial action of quercetin further demonstrates the membrane interference by reducing the membrane fluidity of the bacterial cells [20].…”
