Unlocking the potential of Pseudomonas aeruginosa QS intermediates as antimicrobial synergists against three multidrug-resistant enteric bacteria
These findings demonstrate the potential of the QS effectors in reducing the required dosage of antibiotics against resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains and highlight the need to develop a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms for the co-action of antimicrobials and QS mediators.
