Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes serious infections in severely burned patients due to its ability to produce numerous virulence factors. The production of most of these factors is controlled by the cell-to-cell communication system called quorum sensing (QS). We have recently shown that several proinflammatory and hematopoietic cytokines are produced during infection of the burn wound with P....
