Iron-Depletion prevents biofilm formation in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa through twitching mobility and quorum sensing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Influence of iron-depletion on twitching motility and quorum sensing (QS) system in P. aeruginosa was evaluated. The results demonstrated iron-depletion can retard biofilm formation and increase the twitching motility and expression of QS-related genes, suggesting a potential interaction between twitching motility and QS system in P. aeruginosa biofilm formation.

Low concentrations of local honey modulate ETA expression, and quorum sensing related virulence in drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa recovered from infected burn wounds
Objective(s): Honey’s ability to kill microorganisms and even eradication of chronic infections with drug-resistant pathogens has been documented by numerous studies. The present study is focused on the action of honey in its sub-inhibitory levels to impact on the pathogens coordinated behaviors rather than killing them. Materials and Methods:</strong...
متن کاملInfluence of quorum sensing and iron on twitching motility and biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Reducing iron (Fe) levels in a defined minimal medium reduced the growth yields of planktonic and biofilm Pseudomonas aeruginosa, though biofilm biomass was affected to the greatest extent and at FeCl3 concentrations where planktonic cell growth was not compromised. Highlighting this apparently greater need for Fe, biofilm growth yields were markedly reduced in a mutant unable to produce pyover...
متن کاملRepurposing metformin as a quorum sensing inhibitor in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
BACKGROUND Quorum sensing is a mechanism of intercellular communication that controls the production of virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Inhibition of quorum sensing can disarm the virulence factors without exerting stress on bacterial growth that leads to emergence of antibiotic resistance. OBJECTIVES Finding a new quorum sensing inhibitor and determining its inhibitory activitie...
متن کاملAgaricus blazei hot water extract shows anti quorum sensing activity in the nosocomial human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The edible mushroom Agaricus blazei Murill is known to induce protective immunomodulatory action against a variety of infectious diseases. In the present study we report potential anti-quorum sensing properties of A. blazei hot water extract. Quorum sensing (QS) plays an important role in virulence, biofilm formation and survival of many pathogenic bacteria, including the Gram negative Pseudomo...
متن کاملEffect of Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin on Quorum Sensing, Biofilm Formation and Bacterial Motilities of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
Statins have been widely studied as antibacterial compounds, but the mechanism of their bacterial inhibition is still not known. In the present investigation two statins, atorvastatin and rosuvastatin, were tested for their antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and both showed MIC of 625μg/ml. Both the statins shared structural similarity with quorum sensing signal molecule of G...
