Quorum Sensing in <i>Burkholderia cepacia</i> : Identification of the LuxRI Homologs CepRI
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia cepacia has emerged as an important pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis. Many gram-negative pathogens regulate the production of extracellular virulence factors by a cell density-dependent mechanism termed quorum sensing, which involves production of diffusible N-acylated homoserine lactone signal molecules, called autoinducers. Transposon insertion mutants of B. cepacia K56-2 which...
