Abstract
Modulators of quorum sensing pathways in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) gain attention due to their potential therapeutic applications. These chemical agents are viewed as anti-virulence agents capable of increasing the existing therapeutic agents’ efficacy against resistant clinical strains. Additionally, they can be utilized in developing anticancer therapeutics, whole-cell biosensors, and artificial biological systems. In this mini-review, we summarize recent (2015-2021) publications on PA's QS modulation.
Keywords: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, virulence factors, quorum sensing, quorum sensing inhibitors.
