Popis: Among various anti-virulence aspects, the efficacy of the bioactive constituents of probiotics, referred to as postbiotics, to affect quorum sensing (QS)-modulated signaling of pathogens, is considered as a safe natural approach. The present study investigated the potential QS-inhibitory activity of lyophilized postbiotics from Lactobacillus casei sub sp. casei PTCC 1608 on virulence phenotypes and biofilm of two strains and three clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The effect of L. casei postbiotics (LCP) at sub-minimum inhibitory concentration on the expression of QS genes including lasR/I, rhlR/I, pqsA, pqsR and virulence genes including pelF (pellicle/biofilm glycosyltransferase PelF), lasB (elastase LasB) and toxA (exotoxin A) was evaluated. The viability of mouse fibroblastic NIH/3T3 cell line treated with sub-MIC
