The invention provides a method for rapidly screening a bacterial
quorum sensing inhibitor (QSI) by utilizing a
suicide gene. The method is characterized in that under natural light,
bacteria not infected with a phage do not turn blue and
bacteria infected with the phage turn blue; induced by an added lethal condition
inducer, a specific polypeptide with the function of inhibiting QS does not start expression of the
suicide gene because of inhibiting the activities of QS molecules, so the
bacteria survive; a non-specific polypeptide can not inhibit the QS molecules, so the
suicide gene starts lethal; then survival candidate clones are picked out,
functional verification is further carried out and finally
a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence corresponding to a specific polypeptide sequence is obtained by a method of
DNA sequencing, thus obtaining an efficient and specific QSI polypeptide. The method is simple in steps, and multiple QSI candidate polypeptides can be obtained only within three days to about one weak, so that the method has very obvious advantages.
