Malleilactone Is a Burkholderia pseudomallei Virulence Factor Regulated by Antibiotics and Quorum Sensing
3 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Burkholderia pseudomallei , the causative agent of melioidosis, encodes almost a dozen predicted polyketide (PK) biosynthetic gene clusters. Many of these are regulated by LuxR-I-type acyl-homoserine (AHL) quorum-sensing systems. One of the PK gene clusters, the mal gene cluster, is conserved in the close relative Burkholderia thailandensis . The B. thailandensis mal genes code for the cytotoxin...
