Overview

Investigating the antibiofilm effects of Agrimonia eupatoria extracts on bacterial strains, suggesting natural treatment options.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the antibiofilm activity of Agrimonia eupatoria extracts against specific bacterial pathogens.
  • Applied ethanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate extracts on Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
  • Conducted phytochemical analysis using FT-IR spectroscopy and quantification of phenolic compounds.
  • Evaluated effects on bacterial auto-aggregation, surface hydrophobicity, and motility.
  • All extracts inhibited initial cell adhesion and biofilm formation but were less effective against mature biofilms.
  • Acetone and ethyl acetate extracts showed strongest antibiofilm activity, with inhibition rates up to 92%.
  • Fluorescence microscopy indicated the inhibitory effect was dose-dependent.
