Pseudomonas aeruginosa is considered a dangerous pathogen, as it causes many human diseases, besides that it is resistant to almost all types of antibacterial agents. So, new strategies to overcome P. aeruginosa infection have evolved to attenuate its virulence factors and inhibit its quorum-sensing (QS) activity.
