Abstract
The use of metal complexes to reduce or inhibit virulence factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a promising strategy for the management and control of infections caused by this multidrug-resistant pathogen. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-quorum sensing activity of sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MIC) of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate-curcumin complex (Cu-CUR), iron(III) nitrate nonahydrate -curcumin complex (Fe-CUR), zinc(II) chloride-curcumin complex (Zn-CUR) and free curcumin (free-CUR) against P. aeruginosa PAO1. Metal-CUR complexes were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The effect of sub-MIC (1/4 and 1/16 MIC) concentrations of metal-CUR complexes and free-CUR on cell growth, biofilm formation, motility, alginate and pyocyanin production, H2O2 susceptibility and expression of lasI and lasR genes in PAO1 was determined. MIC of metal-CUR complexes and free-CUR was determined as 62.5 and 125 µg/ml, respectively. Metal-CUR complexes at concentration of 62.5 µg/ml significantly reduced the cell growth to 1.5%-3.3%. Although we did not measure the anti-QS activity of metal-CUR complexes directly against PAO1, they indicated anti-QS activity in C. violaceum CV026. Copper-CUR comple...Continue Reading
