Analysis of the quorum‐sensing regulon of the opportunistic pathogen <b><i>Burkholderia cepacia</i></b> H111 by proteomics
1 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia cepacia H111, an important pathogen for persons suffering from cystic fibrosis, employs a quorum-sensing (QS) system, cep, to control expression of virulence factors as well as the formation of biofilms. The QS system is thought to ensure that pathogenic traits are only expressed when the bacterial population density is high enough to overwhelm the host before it is able to mount an efficient...
