Modulation of host biology by Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing signal molecules: messengers or traitors
Bacterial cells sense their population density and respond accordingly by producing various signal molecules to the surrounding environments thereby trigger a plethora of gene expression. This regulatory pathway is termed quorum sensing (QS). Plenty of bacterial virulence factors are controlled by Q...
