Abstract excerpt
The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa damages hosts through the production of diverse secreted products, many of which are regulated by quorum sensing (QS). The lasR gene, which encodes a central QS regulator, is frequently mutated in clinical isolates from chronic infections, and loss of LasR function (LasR-) generally impairs the activity of downstream QS regulators RhlR and PqsR. We found that in...
