Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a dominant pathogen in people with cystic fibrosis (CF)
contributing to morbidity and mortality. Its tremendous ability to adapt greatly facilitates its …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication mechanism between bacteria that allows specific
processes to be controlled, such as biofilm formation, virulence factor expression, production …

Cell-to-cell communication is a major process that allows bacteria to sense and coordinately
react to the fluctuating conditions of the surrounding environment. In several pathogens, this …

Pathogenic microorganisms have to face hostile environments while colonizing and
infecting their hosts. Unfortunately, they can cope with it and have evolved a number of …

During infection, Pseudomonas aeruginosa employs bacterial communication (quorum
sensing [QS]) to coordinate the expression of tissue-damaging factors. QS-controlled gene …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is responsible for a wide range of
acute and chronic infections. The transition to chronic infections is accompanied by …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that produces several virulence
factors such as lectin A, pyocyanin, elastase and rhamnolipids. These compounds are …

The genome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 contains three type VI secretion systems
(T6SSs) called H1-, H2-, and H3-T6SS. The H1-T6SS secretes three identified toxins that …

The major cause of mortality and morbidity in human beings is bacterial infection. Bacteria
have developed resistance to most of the antibiotics primarily due to large-scale and …

It is now clear that cell–cell communication, often referred to as quorum sensing (QS), is the
norm in the prokaryotic kingdom and this community-wide genetic regulatory mechanism …
