Metabolic basis for the evolution of a common pathogenic <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> variant
2022-01-14
Abstract excerpt
Microbes frequently evolve in reproducible ways. Here, we show that differences in specific metabolic regulation explain the frequent presence of lasR loss-of-function mutations in the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. While LasR contributes to virulence, lasR mutants have been associated with more severe disease. A model based on the intrinsic growth kinetics for a wild type strain and its LasR - der...
