Flavonoids suppress Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence through allosteric inhibition of quorum-sensing Receptors

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
This work demonstrates that flavonoids specifically inhibit quorum sensing via antagonism of the autoinducer-binding receptors, LasR and RhlR, and confirms their potential as anti-infectives that do not function by traditional bacteriocidal or bacteriostatic mechanisms.

Quorum Sensing: A Prospective Therapeutic Target for Bacterial Diseases.

TL;DR: Anti-QS agents can abolish the QS signaling and prevent the biofilm formation, therefore reducing bacterial virulence without causing drug-resistant to the pathogens, suggesting that anti- QS agents are potential alternatives for antibiotics.
