Abstract excerpt
How the LuxS/AI-2 quorum sensing (QS) system influences the pathogenicity of K. pneumoniae is complicated by the heterogeneity of the bacterial mucoid phenotypes. This study aims to explore the LuxS-mediated regulation of the pathogenicity of K. pneumoniae with diverse mucoid phenotypes, including hypermucoid, regular-mucoid, and nonmucoid. The wild-type, luxS knockout, and complemented strains of three K....
