Identification of functions linking quorum sensing with biofilm formation in Burkholderia cenocepacia H111
28 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia cenocepacia has emerged as an important pathogen for patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF). Previous work has shown that this organism employs the CepIR quorum-sensing (QS) system to control the expression of virulence factors as well as the formation of biofilms. To date, however, very little is known about the QS-regulated virulence factors and virtually nothing about the factors that link...
