  • Cooperation and conflict in Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing

    Creator:
    Wilder, Cara N.
    Abstract:
    Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an environmental bacterium as well as an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects immunocompromised individuals, including those suffering from cystic fibrosis. The density-dependent regulation of gene expression via cell-to-cell communication, also termed quorum sensing (QS), is an important virulence determinant in this organism. Generally, P. aeruginosa uses three...
