Abstract

Targeting the main three networking systems, viz. Las, RhI, and PQS, via natural quenchers is a new ray of hope for combating the persistent behavior of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In the bacterial chemical vocabulary pyocyanin, N-AHLs and rhamnolipids are the main keywords, which are responsible for the social and nomadic behavior of P. aeruginosa. In the present work, LC-MS based real-time qualitative and quantitative analysis of pyocyanin, green phenazine, N-AHLs, and rhamnolipids were performed on P. aeruginosa PAO1. The quantitative analysis indicates that the production of pyocyanin and NHSLs increases with time while the production of rhamnolipids discontinued after 16 h. This indicates the emergence of persisters in the medium instead of planktonic cells. Rhamnolipids acting as a surfactant enhances the motility of the bacterial cells, whereas the pyocyanin is responsible for the biofilm formation. In a microtiter plate based assay, an effect of capsaicin and 6-gingerol was recorded. In the presence of capsaicin and 6-gingerol, a substantial decrease in the production of rhamnolipids, phenazine, quinolone, and N-AHLs was observed. Most interestingly, the 6-gingerol treatment led to a drastic decrease of rhamnolipids, phenaz...Continue Reading
