Abstract excerpt
PqsD mediates the conversion of anthraniloyl-coenzyme A (ACoA) to 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline (HHQ), a precursor of the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) molecule. Due to the role of the quinolone signaling pathway of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the expression of several virulence factors and biofilm formation, PqsD is a potential target for controlling this nosocomial pathogen, which exhibits a low susceptibility...
