Interplay between quorum sensing and metabolism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The important human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes a broad-spectrum of diseases including life threatening infections. A cell density-dependent regulatory network termed quorum sensing (QS) is pivotal in the control of P. aeruginosa pathogenicity, and the signal molecules employed are N-acyl...
