The rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens presents a global healthcare challenge. Bacteria control their virulence, motility, and biofilm formation, all of them being required for establishing pathogenicity, through a cell density-dependent communication system known as quorum sensing (QS). QS comprises production of extracellular signaling molecules, their detection, and population-wide response involving regulation of the virulence genes expression. Inhibition of QS affects virulence and reduces harmful effects to the host and as such presents a promising strategy to fight antibiotic-resistant infections. Multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa belogns to the group of most critical pathogens for which the introduction of new therapeutics is imperative. In the search for novel therapeutics nature continues to be inexhaustible source of bioactive scaffolds, which provide the bases for structure-based rational drug design enabling further exploitation of diverse natural struct...ures. This review describes bacterial QS systems, highlights strategies for their manipulation, overviews nature-inspired antivirulence molecules primarily against P. aeruginosa, and discusses their perspectives.
