Coumarins have been shown to possess antimicrobial, anti-quorum sensing and anti-biofilm properties against a wide range of pathogenic bacteria. This study aimed to shed light on the effects of non-substituted coumarin on biofilm formation by the foodborne pathogen Typhimurium. Additionally, its efficacy was tested in combination with another potent anti-biofilm agent, resveratrol. Coumarin inhibited biofilm formation for prolonged periods in millimolar concentrations with marginal effects on planktonic growth. It attenuated curli and cellulose production, likely by downregulating the transcript levels of major biofilm formation genes , and . Coumarin further restricted motility in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, coumarin with resveratrol exhibited improved anti-biofilm properties compared with the individual compounds alone. Thus, coumarin alone or with resveratrol can be employed for inhibiting biofilms in food storage and processing units.
香豆素已被证明具有抗微生物、抗群体感应和抗生物膜特性,可针对多种致病菌。本研究旨在阐明非取代香豆素对食源性病原体 鼠伤寒沙门氏菌生物膜形成的影响。此外,还测试了它与另一种强效抗生物膜剂白藜芦醇联合使用的效果。香豆素以毫摩尔浓度长时间抑制生物膜形成,对浮游生长的影响很小。它减弱了卷曲和纤维素的产生,可能是通过下调主要生物膜形成基因 、 和 的转录水平。香豆素进一步以剂量依赖的方式限制了运动性。此外,香豆素与白藜芦醇联合使用表现出比单独使用两种化合物更好的抗生物膜特性。因此,香豆素单独或与白藜芦醇一起可用于抑制食品储存和加工单元中的生物膜。
