Abstract excerpt
MvfR (PqsR), a Pseudomonas aeruginosa LysR-type transcriptional regulator, plays a critical role in the virulence of this pathogen. MvfR modulates the expression of multiple quorum sensing (QS)-regulated virulence factors; and the expression of the phnAB and pqsA-E genes that encode functions mediating 4-hydroxy-2-alkylquinolines (HAQs) signalling compounds biosynthesis, including 3,4-dihydroxy-2heptylquinoline...
