Inhibition of virulence factors under control of quorum sensing by 2,4-di-tertbutylphenol (2,4-DBP). (A) Visual qualitative assay for inhibition of Chromobacterium violaceum violacein production and Pseudomonas aeruginosa pyocyanin production by 2,4-DBP at indicated concentrations. (B) Quantitative estimation of violacein and pyocyanin production. The growth curve in the presence of 2,4-DBP, baicalein, and untreated control is shown in the inlet. (C) Inhibition of chitinase, LasA protease, LasA staphylolytic activity, and LasB elastase activities by 2,4-DBP at indicated concentrations. (D) Visual qualitative assay of inhibition of P. aeruginosa HCN production by 2,4-DBP at indicated concentrations. Bar diagrams represent mean percentage values of triplicates normalized with those obtained with untreated controls.
