Pseudomonas aeruginosais a virulent bacterium that secretes a variety of virulence factors that aid in establishing infections in individuals. Allicin, derived from garlic, has been shown to inhibit virulence factor production and biofilm formation inP. aeruginosa. However, the mechanisms underlying the allicin-mediated regulation ofP. aeruginosavirulence remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the possible mechanisms underlying allicin-mediated virulence regulation inP. aeruginosa. The results showed that allicin attenuates the production ofP. aeruginosavirulence-associated factors, such as elastase, pyocyanin, pyoverdine, and rhamnolipids, by inhibiting therhlandpqsquorum-sensing systems. Further analysis revealed that therhlandpqssystems play different roles during the allicin-mediated regulation process. Taken together, these results support the potential use of allicin as a therapeutic agent in controllingP. aeruginosainfection and associated mechanisms.
