Synergistic Inhibitory Effect of Honey and <i>Lactobacillus plantarum</i> on Pathogenic Bacteria and Their Promotion of Healing in Infected Wounds by Mei Li, Hong Xiao, Yongmei Su, Danlin Cheng, Yan Jia, Yingli Li, Qi Yin, Jieying Gao, Yong Tang, Qunhua Bai

“…Biofilm crystalline violet staining and fluorescent staining results indicated that the honey–<i>L. plantarum</i> formulation prevented the biofilm formation in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> and increased the number of dead bacteria in the biofilms. Further mechanism studies revealed that the honey–<i>L. plantarum</i> formulation may inhibit biofilm formation by upregulating biofilm-related genes (<i>icaA</i>, <i>icaR</i>, <i>sigB</i>, <i>sarA</i>, and <i>agrA</i>) and downregulating quorum sensing (QS) associated genes (<i>lasI</i>, <i>lasR</i>, <i>rhlI</i>, <i>rhlR</i>, and <i>pqsR</i>). …”
