Abstract excerpt
Levels of serum antibodies against Pseudomonas aeruginosa were observed for 106 days in a rat model of chronic lung infection. Significantly weaker responses of serum IgG and IgG1 and a lower ratio of IgG1/IgG2a were found in the rats infected with the quorum-signal-deficient mutant, PAO1 (rhlI, lasI), compared with the wild-type PAO1. Four out of 15 rats infected with wild-type PAO1 contained bacteria in the...
