Repurposing an ethnomedicinal herb: Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) as a source of quorum sensing inhibitors to attenuate Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence

Key Points

• Quorum sensing inhibitors from horseradish effectively reduce the virulence of pseudomonas aeruginosa.
• The study highlights two significant compounds derived from armoracia rusticana, showing a promising reduction in pathogenicity.
• Assessment using ethnomedicine techniques demonstrates the potential of natural inhibitors in combating bacterial infections.
• These findings support further research into plant-based therapies for managing biofilm-related infections.
