摘要: Aim: To develop an alternative quorum quenching therapy against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Methods & results: Activity-guided partially purified fraction (F1) from Glycyrrhiza glabra significantly (p < 0.05) reduced sensing regulated virulence factors of A. baumannii viz. motility, biofilm formation and production antioxidant enzymes. Mechanistically, F1 downregulated the expression autoinducer synthase gene, abaI, consequently (92%) 3-OH-C12-HSL as determined by ESI–MS. Q-TOF Q-TRAP analyses suggested presence flavonoids licoricone, glycyrin glyzarin active ingredients. Conclusion: This is first report on activity G. linked to its that abaI attenuated
