The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) causes infections that are difficult to treat, which is due to the bacterial natural resistance to antibiotics. The bacterium is also able to form a biofilm that protects the bacterium from clearance by the human immune system and leads to chronic infection. Herein, we synthesized and characterized a novel gallium compound that interferes with both the iron metabolism and quorum sensing system of P. aeruginosa to achieve a significant bactericidal activity. The compound could substantially reduce the secretion of bacterial virulence factors as well as eliminate biofilm formation. Integrative omics analysis indicates that this compound can significantly disturb the gene transcription and metabolism of P. aeruginosa. The effectiveness of the gallium compound was further validated in mammalian cell and murine skin infection models. Our study offers a new strategy to design new gallium-based antimicrobials to combat P. aeruginosa infection.
