Micafungin effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa metabolome, virulence and biofilm: potential quorum sensing inhibitor

Abstract excerpt

The prevalence of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa places a heavy burden on the health care sectors urging the need to find alternative, non-antibiotic strategies. The interference with the P. aeruginosa quorum sensing (QS) system represents a promising alternative strategy to attenuate the bacterial virulency and its ability to form biofilms. Micafungin has been reported to impede the pseudomonal...
