Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that produces two types of
siderophores, pyoverdine and pyochelin, that play pivotal roles in iron scavenging from the …

Bacterial natural products (BNPs) are very important sources of leads for drug development
and chemical novelty. The possibility to perform late-stage diversification of BNPs using …

The pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis uses a chemical signaling process, ie, quorum
sensing (QS), to form robust biofilms and cause human infection. Many questions remain …

Chemical communication between competing bacteria in multi‐species environments often
enables both species to adapt and survive, and perhaps even thrive. P. aeruginosa and S …

Wool keratin (WK) protein is attractive for wound dressing and biomedical applications due
to its excellent biodegradability, cytocompatibility, and wound-healing properties. In this …

Bacterial pneumonia is a common clinical syndrome leading to significant morbidity and
mortality worldwide. In the current study, we investigate a novel, multidirectional relationship …

Iron is an essential nutrient for the survival and virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The
pathogen expresses at least 15 different iron‐uptake pathways, the majority involving small …

Polymicrobial biofilms provide a complex environment where co-infecting microorganisms
can behave antagonistically, additively, or synergistically to alter the disease outcome …

When cultured together under standard laboratory conditions Pseudomonas aeruginosa has
been shown to be an effective inhibitor of Staphylococcus aureus. However, P. aeruginosa …

Microorganisms usually coexist as a multifaceted polymicrobial community in the natural
habitats and at mucosal sites of the human body. Two opportunistic human pathogens …
