Quorum Sensing Promotes Phage Infection in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1
ABSTRACT Quorum sensing (QS) is used to coordinate social behaviors, such as virulence and biofilm formation, across bacterial populations. However, the role of QS in regulating phage-bacterium interactions remains unclear. Preventing phage recognition and adsorption are the first steps of bacterial...
