Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa coordinates the transcription of hundreds of genes, including many virulence genes, through three hierarchically arranged quorum-sensing (QS) systems, namely las, rhl and pqs. Each system consists of genes involved in autoinducer synthesis, lasI, rhlI and pqsABCDH, as well as cognate-regulatory genes, lasR, rhlR and pqsR. In this study, we analyzed the social behavior of signal-blind...
