Biological activities of Sorbus aucuparia L. leaves extract were tested in our study. This study aimed to investigate the activity of Cydonia oblonga Mill. peels and leaf ethanolic extracts on biofilm formation of different microbial strains, including pathogenic bacteria and food poisoning strains. It was shown that both of the investigated extracts inhibited biofilm formation in a dose dependent manner with sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations. The percentage of biofilm formation inhibition varied for each bacterial strain and was in the range of 10-100%, for both of the tested extracts. The ability of extracts to inhibit already formed biofilms presented as minimal concentration necessary to disrupt biofilms and concentrations was in the range of 10-100 µg/mL for the leaf extract and 5-75 µg/mL for the peel extract. The investigated extracts showed a promising antimicrobial effect comparable to, or even higher than the used reference compounds, which make these plant parts attractive for pharmaceutical and food industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
