Antibiofilm activity of resveratrol against Gram-positive bacteria.

Bacterial pathogens Bacteria strains Source of bacterial strain Applied concentration Assay Observations References
Gram- positive Enteropathogenic S. aureus CECT 59 ATCC 9144 100 μg/mL Crystal violet biofilm assay Inhibition of S. aureus biofilm formation by between 20% and 45%. Antagonistic anti-biofilm effect present with combination of resveratrol and genistein or protocateuchic acid Moran et al., 2014
S. aureus ATCC 6538 Isolated from human lesion 100 μg/mL Crystal violet biofilm assay No significant inhibitory effect on biofilm formation Lee K. et al., 2014
ATCC 6538 Isolated from human lesion 20–100 μg/mL Crystal violet biofilm assay No significant inhibitory effect on biofilm formation at concentrations up to 100 μg/mL Cho et al., 2015 Qin et al., 2014
MRSA COL Clinical isolate 100 μg/mL, 150 μg/mL Crystal violet biofilm assay 39.85 % inhibition of MRSA biofilm at 100 μg/mL resveratrol. 23.42 % removal of preformed biofilm at 150 μg/mL resveratrol.
SEM Thinner biofilm post-treatment with resveratrol
Listeria monocytogenes LMG 16779 serovar 1/2a 20, 100, 200 μg/mL Crystal violet biofilm assay Similar % biofilm inhibition for LMG 16779, LMG 16780 and LOP9 at 100 μg/mL and 200 μg/mL resveratrol. LMG serovar 1/2a LMG 16679 (most commonly found serovar in food processing plant) is the most sensitive and LMG 13305 is the most resistant to biomass inhibition at lowest tested concentration (20 μg/mL).
