Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of the study is to screen antiquorum sensing activity compound from actinobacteria using Chromobacterium violaceum as indicator and quantify the antibiofilm activity against several biofilm-forming pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 33186, Vibrio cholerae , Salmonella typhimurium , Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853.Results: Crude extracts from marine actinobacteria isolated from Indonesia were promising for treating biofilm-related diseases. Out of 40 isolates 10 were found to have great quorum quenching activity against C. violaceum. Moreover, these isolates were able to inhibit biofim formation by Gram positive and Gram negative pathogenic bacteria. Quorum quenching agents in extracts of 1AC, 14PM, 16PM, 18PM, and CW17 isolates were predicted as proteins or enzymes.
