The potential antibacterial mechanism of AA. A, B The effect of AA and HA corresponding to the pH of each concentration of AA on the membrane potential of TL1671 and TL2314; C, D The effect of AA on the respiratory rate of TL1671 and TL2314; E, F The effect of AA on QS-related and T3SS-related gene expression in P. aeruginosa. A ‘no AA’ group served as the control. E TL1671 (no AA) and TL1671 + 1/2 × MIC AA; F TL2314 (no AA) and TL2314 + 1/2 × MIC AA. The data were expressed as the means ± SD (n = 3). Data were analyzed by Student’s t-test; ns, not statistically significant; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001. The experiments were performed thrice. The data were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation
