Role of fatty acids in modulating quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Chromobacterium violaceum: an integrated experimental and computational analysis.

The broad-spectrum antibacterial capabilities of fatty acids (FAs) and their reduced propensity to promote resistance have rendered as a promising substitute for conventional antibiotics. The structural significance of fatty acid production with the other lipids is a major energy source, and signal transduction has drawn a great deal of research attention to these biomolecules. Saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids reduce virulence by preventing harmful opportunistic bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Chromobacterium violaceum from activating their quorum sensing (QS) systems.
