Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that has developed multi-or
even pan-drug resistance toward most frontline and last resort antibiotics, leading to …

Patients with cystic fibrosis often have chronic and ultimately lethal pulmonary infections with
Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In order to understand why these bacteria resist pulmonary …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a well‐known cause of infections especially in compromised
patients. To neutralize this pathogen, the expression of antimicrobial factors in epithelial …

Many of the virulence factors produced by the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas
aeruginosa are quorum‐sensing (QS) regulated. Among these are rhamnolipids, which …

Rhamnolipids (RLs) are heterogeneous glycolipid molecules that are composed of one or
two l-rhamnose sugars and one or two β-hydroxy fatty acids, which can vary in their length …

The opportunistic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes chronic respiratory infections
in cystic fibrosis and immunocompromised individuals. Bacterial adherence to the …

The opportunistic gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is implicated in many
chronic infections and is readily isolated from chronic wounds, medical devices, and the …

In an article published in this issue, Alhede et al.(2009) demonstrate that the opportunistic
pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa can react to the presence of PMNs by producing …

Efficient delivery of toxic compounds to bacterial competitors is essential during interspecies
microbial warfare. Rhamnolipids (RLPs) are glycolipids produced by Pseudomonas and …

Bacterial biofilms are problematic in natural and anthropogenic environments, and they
confer protective properties on their constituent cells, making them difficult to treat with …
