Effect of the AI-2 inhibitors on G. mellonella larvae infected with APEC O78; A) survival rate of the treated larvae, B) bacterial load in dead larvae at different time points (24, 48, 72 h) and in live larvae at 72 h, and C) toxic effect of each compound on G. mellonella larvae. The larvae were treated with the AI-2 inhibitors (12.5 µg/larva) and inoculated with APEC O78 (8.5 µL ~ 4.25 × 104 CFU), survival monitored for 72 h. The results of two independent experiments were averaged. Significant difference between AI-2 inhibitors treated compared to DMSO treated control at 48 ha and 72 hb (P < 0.05).
