Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 685: Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Effects of Photodynamic Treatment with Curcuma L. and Trans-Cinnamaldehyde against Listeria monocytogenes

In conclusion, Cur demonstrated excellent photosensitizing properties against Lm in both planktonic and biofilm states. The efficacy of Ca was lower than that of Cur. However, Ca bears potent antibiofilm effects, which vary depending on the surface on which Lm resides. Therefore, this study may help identify more effective plant-based compounds to combat L. monocytogenes in an environmentally sustainable manner.
