Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa populations evolving in cystic fibrosis lungs, animal hosts, natural environments and in vitro undergo extensive genetic adaption and diversification. A common mutational target is the quorum sensing (QS) system, a three-unit regulatory system that controls the expression of virulence factors and secreted public goods. Three evolutionary scenarios have been advocated to explain selection...
