Such chronic infections are challenging because P. aeruginosa exhibits high-level tolerance to antibiotics by forming biofilms (multicellular structures attached to surfaces), by entering dormancy and forming antibiotic tolerant persister cells, and by conversion to the mucoid phenotype. Recently, we reported that a synthetic quorum sensing inhibitor, (Z)-4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene)-3-methylfuran-2(5H)-one (BF8), can sensitize both planktonic and biofilm-associated persister cells of P. aeruginosa PAO1 to antibiotics at the concentrations non-inhibitory to its growth. In this study, we further characterized the effects of this compound on the mucoid strain P. aeruginosa PDO300. BF8 was found to reduce persistence during the growth of PDO300 and effectively kill the persister cells isolated from PDO300 cultures. In addition to planktonic cells, BF8 was also found to inhibit biofilm formation of PDO300 and reduce associated persistence. These findings broaden the activities of this class of compounds and indicate that BF8 also has other targets in P. aeruginosa in addition to quorum sensing.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.4657359027997265,"endowment":3.4657359027997265,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"23810498","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1981475895","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":1.7887,"citation_percentile":0.84167499,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2013,"count":4},{"year":2014,"count":3},{"year":2015,"count":5},{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2017,"count":4},{"year":2018,"count":5},{"year":2019,"count":2},{"year":2021,"count":1},{"year":2022,"count":2},{"year":2024,"count":2},{"year":2025,"count":2}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.elsevier.com/legal/tdmrep-license","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0960894X13007208?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0960894X13007208?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bmcl.2013.06.011","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23810498","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Bacterial biofilms and quorum sensing","Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria","Cystic Fibrosis Research Advances"],"mesh_terms":["Anti-Bacterial Agents","Drug Tolerance","Pseudomonas aeruginosa","4-Butyrolactone","Molecular Structure","Biofilms","Quorum Sensing"],"keywords":["Pseudomonas aeruginosa","Multidrug tolerance","Biofilm","Quorum sensing","Microbiology","Antibiotics","Bacteria","Chemistry","Pathogen","Cystic fibrosis","Biology","Genetics","Persister","Antibiotic Tolerance","Mucoid"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Life below water"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-28T11:41:02.348867Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
