Abstract excerpt
Pathogenicity of opportunistic Pseudomonas aeruginosa is mediated through expression of different virulence determinants, most of which are under the control of quorum sensing. Besides acylhomoserine lactones, P. aeruginosa produces Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) molecules which co-regulate expression of overlapping subset of genes. In the present study, effect of mutations in the pqs genes on the production...
