The development of bacterial resistance is an increasing global concern that requires discovering new antibacterial agents and strategies. Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) systems play important roles in controlling virulence, their targeting could lead to diminishing pathogenesis. In this context, QS without significant influence on growth assumed as a promising strategy overcome development. This study aimed at evaluating the anti-QS anti-virulence activities β-adrenoreceptor antagonist propranolol sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations (sub-MIC) against two Gram-negative models Pseudomonas aeruginosa Serratia marcescens. effect expression QS-encoding genes was evaluated. Additionally, affinity receptors virtually attested. sub-MIC biofilm formation, motility, production virulent factors conducted. outcomes combination with different antibiotics were assessed. Finally, vivo protection assay mice performed assess propranolol’s lessening current findings emphasized ability reduce formation biofilms, virulence factors. addition, decreased capacity tested bacteria induce pathogenesis mice. Furthermore, significantly downregulated showed receptors. synergistically MICs bacteria. conclusion, might serve plausible adjuvant therapy for treatment serious infections after further pharmacological pharmaceutical studies.
