Abstract
The present study was intended to optimize the quorum sensing inhibitory action of Solanum torvum root extract against Chromobacterium violaceum. Factors such as bacterial density, frequency of administration and concentration of extract were analysed. Plant samples were collected from Thrissur District, Kerala, India. Response surface modelling of factors by Box-Behnken approach was employed for optimizing quorum quenching activity of extract. The adequacy of mathematical model was verified by ANOVA and Cook’s distance table. Results revealed that quorum quenching property of Solanum torvum root extract is highly influenced by variables studied whereas maximum activity was found during administration of 300 µg/ml extract thrice in a day. It was also understood that extract does not possess any bactericidal activity wherein it only silence its quorum sensing mediated functions. This observations can be further used in quorum quenching studies.
