Eugenol inhibits quorum sensing and biofilm of toxigenic MRSA strains isolated from food handlers employed in Saudi Arabia

Food handlers are important component in assessment and maintenance of food quality as they are carriers of food pathogens causing spoilage. Food spoilage is attributed to quorum sensing (QS) controlled development of biofilms. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel QS and biofilm inhib...
