Quorum sensing (QS)-deficient Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms formed in vitro are more susceptible to tobramycin than QS-proficient P. aeruginosa biofilms, and combination treatment with a QS inhibitor (QSI) and tobramycin shows synergistic effects on the killing of in vitro biofilms. We extended these results to an in vivo P. aeruginosa foreign-body biofilm model. The effect of treatment initiated prophylactically was compared with treatment initiated 11 days post-insertion.
