Antibiofilm Potential of Lavandula Preparations against Campylobacter jejuni.

ABSTRACT: New approaches for the control of Campylobacter jejuni biofilms in the food industry are being studied intensively. Natural products are promising alternative antimicrobial substances to control biofilm production, with particular emphasis on plant extracts. Dried flowers of Lavandula angustifolia were used to produce essential oil (LEO), an ethanol extract (LEF), and an ethanol extract of Lavandula postdistillation waste material (LEW). The chemical compositions determined for these Lavandula preparations included seven major compounds that were selected for further testing. These were tested against C. jejuni for biofilm degradation and removal. Next-generation sequencing was used to study the molecular mechanisms underlying LEO actions against C. jejuni adhesion and
