Analysing the integrated quorum sensing (iqs) system and its potential role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogenesis

Abstract excerpt

Since its discovery, Quorum Sensing (QS), a form of bacterial communication, has been the focus of numerous studies aimed at unravelling the mechanisms behind this intricate process. Bacterial QS relies on releasing low molecular weight signals known as autoinducers (AIs). When these AIs reach a threshold concentration, they activate coordinated genetic expression of pathogenic and bacterial survival mechanisms....
