Genetic and transcriptomic characteristics of RhlR-dependent quorum sensing in cystic fibrosis isolates of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>
2021-12-22
Abstract excerpt
In people with the genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF), bacterial infections involving the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. P. aeruginosa uses a cell-cell signaling mechanism called quorum sensing (QS) to regulate many virulence functions. One type of QS consists of acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) signals produced by LuxI-type signal synthases, whic...
