The Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activities of Resveratrol on Gram-positive and Gram-negative Bacteria
Murat Karameşe, Yalçın Dicle
Abstract
Aim: Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) shows antimicrobial activity against many pathogens. It has been detected that subinhibitory concentrations can reduce bacterial motility and interference with quorum sensing, lead to reduced bacterial toxin production, and inhibit biofilm formation. In this study, we aimed to investigate resveratrol's antibacterial and antibiofilm activities on some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
