P, PAO1 group; P+AI-2, PAO1+AI-2 group; ΔP, P. aeruginosa lasR rhlR mutant group; ΔP+AI-2, P. aeruginosa lasR rhlR mutant+AI-2 group. Asterisks denote a statistically significant difference from the PAO1 control group at 24 h (P < 0.05). Triangles denote a statistically significant difference from the PAO1 group at 48h (P < 0.05).
