The present investigates the antiquorum sensing and biofilm inhibitory potential of 5 - hydroxymethylfurfural against Chromobacterium violaceum, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. 5HMF inhibits the quorum sensing mediated violacein pigment production by 87% at 100 μg/ml concentration. A 100 μg/ml concentration of the compound inhibits S. mutans and S. epidermidis biofilm formation by 86% and 79% whereas for S. pyogenes and S. aureus 125 μg/ml concentration inhibits biofilm formation by 83% and 82%. The Confocal images clearly indicate that 5HMF as a promising antibiofilm agent.
本研究调查了 5 - 羟甲基糠醛对紫色色杆菌、化脓性链球菌、变形链球菌、金黄色葡萄球菌和表皮葡萄球菌的抗老化感应和生物膜抑制潜力。在 100μg/ml 浓度下,5HMF 抑制群体感应介导的紫色素产生达 87%。该化合物的 100μg/ml 浓度可抑制 86%和 79%的变形链球菌和表皮葡萄球菌生物膜形成,而对于化脓性链球菌和金黄色葡萄球菌,125μg/ml 浓度可抑制 83%和 82%的生物膜形成。共聚焦图像清楚地表明,5HMF 是一种很有前途的抗生物膜剂。
