Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces multiple virulence factors and causes different types of infections.

However, the impact of losing several virulence factors simultaneously on the in vivo virulence of P. aeruginosa is not completely understood. The P. aeruginosa cell-to-cell communication system, or quorum sensing...
