background quorum sensing is a microbial cell-to-cell communication process. quorum sensing bacteria produce and release extracellular messenger molecules called autoinducers. gram-positive and gram-negative, homoserine lactones, and oligopeptides are autoinducers used to communicate and regulate gene expression. objectives the goal of this study was to assess the impact of subinhibitory concen...

Phytomedicine for wound healing are not only cheap and affordable but are also purportedly to be safe as hypersensitive reactions are rarely encountered with the use of these agents. Passiflora foetida is reported to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, anti-oxidant activities. It is reported that traditionally its leaves used in the wound healing treatment.
