Quorum sensing inhibition by South African medicinal plants species: an in vitro and an untargeted metabolomics study
In conclusion, the findings of our study provided insight into the QSI properties of South African plant species. Further studies will focus on the isolation of the putative active compounds and the in vitro evaluation of their QSI activity.
