Iron serves as a signal in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm development. We examined the
influence of mutations in known and putative iron acquisition-signaling genes on biofilm …

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, type IV pili (TFP)-dependent twitching motility is required for
development of surface-attached biofilm (SABF), yet excessive twitching motility is …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms attached to a surface. The biofilm is a lifestyle
that provides numerous advantages to its bacterial inhabitants, as it can offer shelter from …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium associated with nosocomial
infections and cystic fibrosis. Chronic bacterial infections are increasingly associated with …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic human pathogen. It can cause
infections of the urinary tract, wounds, middle ear and eyes. P. aeruginosa is also the …

The LysR-type transcriptional regulator MvfR (PqsR)(m ultiple v irulence f actor r egulator)
plays a critical role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogenicity via the transcriptional …

The metV genomic island in the chromosome of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC)
encodes a putative transcription factor and a sugar permease of the phosphotransferase …

AdnA in Pseudomonas fluorescens, an ortholog of FleQ in P. aeruginosa, regulates both
motility and flagellum-mediated attachment to various surfaces. A whole-genome microarray …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause severe infections in humans. This bacterium often
adopts a biofilm lifestyle that is hard to treat. In several previous studies, the PprA-PprB two …

Fis is a versatile DNA binding protein in bacteria. It has been demonstrated in multiple
bacteria that Fis plays crucial roles in regulating bacterial virulence factors and optimizing …
