Table 3.

Minimum quorum sensing inhibitory concentrations, including the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) and antibiofilm (ABF) activities of extracts, tested on Staphylococcus epidermidis (for anti-quorum activity) and Chromobacterium violaceum (for anti-biofilm activity) models.

Plant/Organ Solvent Anti-Quorum Activity (mg/mL) Anti-Biofilm Activity (%)
MQSIC IC50 Prevention Eradication
RL 70% EtOH >1.25 0.43 + +
80% MeOH >1.25 0.41 ++ +
RF 70% EtOH 0.63 0.04 ++ +
80% MeOH 0.16 0.04 + +

RL—Robinia pseudoacacia leaf extract, RF—Robinia pseudoacacia flower extract; (++) good ABF activity (>50% Inhibition); (+) poor ABF activity (more than 0 to 50% inhibition); (-) no ABF activity (0% or less). MQSIC = Minimum quourm sensing inhibitory concentration; IC50 = Half maximal inhibitory concentration.
