PA forms a biofilm resistant to antibiotics, hindering antibiotics efficacy and preventing the eradication of PA, has attracted much attention for its biofilm. In this study, we first established and validated an efficient and sensitive gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) method for the quantification of metabolites in biofilm. Decanoic acid was used as the internal standard. The separation of Palmitic acid, stearic acid and Decanoic acid was conducted on an Elite-5 MS column (30 m × 0.25 mm, 0.25 μm) using gradient elution condition at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Palmitic acid, stearic acid and Decanoic acid were determined under the positive ionization mode, respectively. The calibration curve of Palmitic acid and stearic acid were established in the range of 4 to 128 μg/mL (r² = 0.999). The recovery of palmitic acid and stearic acid were between 98.76% and 113.91%, RSD ＜ 5%. The well validated method was used to detect the metabolites of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm. 54 metabolites were isolated and identified from biofilm samples, and 7 important signal pathways were identified by KEGG enrichment analysis. ABC transporters and bacterial chemotaxis signaling pathways have an important impact on the growth of PA biofilm among these metabolic pathways. This study provides valuable references for the further study of PA biofilm, especially the change of metabolite content and the search for biomarkers.
