Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous bacterium that can cause severe opportunistic infections, including many hospital-acquired infections. It is also a major cause of infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. P. aeruginosa is intrinsically resistant to a number of drugs and is capable of forming biofilms that are difficult to eradicate with antibiotics. The number of drug-resistant strains is also increasing, making treatment of P. aeruginosa infections very difficult. Thus, there is an urgent need to understand how P. aeruginosa causes disease in order to find novel ways to treat infections. We show that the principal redox buffer, glutathione (GSH), is involved in intrinsic resistance to the fosfomycin and rifampin antibiotics. We further demonstrate that GSH plays a role in P. aeruginosa disease and infection, since a mutant lacking GSH has less biofilm formation, is less able to swarm, and produces less pyocyanin, a pigment associated with infection.
