Abstrakt: | Quorum sensing (QS) allows bacteria to assess their local cell density using chemical signals and plays a prominent role in the ability of common pathogens to infect a host. Non-native molecules capable of attenuating bacterial QS represent useful tools to explore the role of this pathway in virulence. As individual bacterial species can have multiple QS systems and/or reside in mixed communities with other bacteria capable of QS, chemical tools that are either selective for one QS system or "pan-active" and target all QS pathways are of significant interest. Herein we outline the analysis of a set of compounds reported to target one QS system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa for their activity in two other QS circuits in this pathogen and the discovery of molecules with novel activity profiles, including subsets that agonize all three QS systems, agonize one but antagonize the other two, or strongly antagonize just one. |
