Inhibitory Effect of 2R,3R-Dihydromyricetin on Biofilm Formation by Staphylococcus aureus.

The adherence and biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus on food contact surfaces are a major concern for the food industry. Development of antibiofilm agents from polyphenols has drawn much attention due to their potent activity. The present study explored the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of 2R,3R-dihydromyricetin (DMY) against S.
