DSF signalling integrates c-di-GMP and σ⁵⁴ pathways with metabolic reprogramming to control <i>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia</i> pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance
2026-02-03
Abstract excerpt
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic, multidrug-resistant pathogen whose pathogenicity is mainly driven by biofilm formation, extracellular enzyme production, surface adhesins and motility. In addition, a diffusible signal factor (DSF)-mediated quorum sensing (QS) system encoded by the rpf gene cluster coordinates collective behaviours and contributes to pathogenicity. While DSF signalling has been ex...
