Quorum sensing (QS) is a significant signaling regulation in bacteria. In Pseudomona aeruginosa, the three known QS systems, Las, Rhl and PQS have been elucidated thoroughly. However, there are many mechanisms still need to be fully understood. In this review, we present state-of-the-art research of the regulation of QS systems in P. aeruginosa, and discuss the potential inhibitor of QS reported by a wide range of studies.
