The production of many Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence factors and secondary metabolites is regulated in concert with cell density by quorum sensing (QS). Therefore, strategies designed to inhibit QS are promising for the control of diseases. Here, we succeeded in isolating soil bacteria (56 out of 7,000 isolates) capable of inhibiting violacein production by Chromobacterium violaceum CV026. We focused on an isolate identified as a Pseudomonas sp. based on its 16S rRNA nucleotide sequence. A pa ...[more]
