ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To understand the importance of quorum sensing(QS)system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PAE)biofilm infection in lungs,the pathogenic effects of the wild-type P.aeruginosa PAEO1 were compared with QS double mutants PAEO1 lasR rhlR and PAEO1 lasⅠ rhⅡ in vivo.METHODS Rats were challenged intratracheally with alginate embedded PAE strain PAEO1 and the mutants of QS in the concentration of 1?109 colony-forming units per milliliter(CFU/ml).Two weeks post intratracheal challenge with P.aeruginosa,parameters were evaluated.RESULTS Two weeks after challenge,significantly milder microscopic and macroscopic lung pathology(P
