abstract = "During the past decades several quorum sensing
inhibitors (QSI) of plant origin have been isolated
and chemically characterized. QSI agents
of plant origin represent potential alternative
or complementary approach to antibiotic treatment
of multidrug-resistant bacteria and infections
caused by bacterial biofilms. The aim of
the current study was to screen QSI activities
of horseradish root extracts obtained using
different organic solvents and different root
processing methods (drying at 40°C, 60°C or extraction
of fresh material). Common opportunistic
pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa MMA83
was used for QSI screen. RT-qPCR was used to
analyze the effect of the extract on the relative
mRNA levels of the genes QS (lasR, lasI, rhlR, rhlI,
mvfR, pqsH) and the genes involved in P. aeruginosa
MMA83 virulence (lasB, phzM, rhlC, algK,
pvdS). Chemical composition of extracts was
determined by UHPLC Q-ToF MS analysis. The
most active extract obtained using fresh roots
and hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1) solvent mixture
was able to significantly reduce content all examined
mRNA. Qualitative chemical analysis
reviled presence of 15 phenolic acids and their
derivatives, 9 flavonoids and 10 glucosinolates
in majority of examined extracts. It is significant
to emphasize that the most active QSI extract
did not contain a single one, out of ten dominant
glucosinolates, which have undergone to
hydrolysis yielding isothiocyanates and other
sulphur-containing compounds responsible for
QSI effects. Our results strongly indicate that
even mild thermal treatment (40°C) of horseradish
roots prior to extraction could lead to severe
reduction or loss of QSI activity.",
