Molecular Mechanisms of Phosphate Stress Activation of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</named-content> Quorum Sensing Systems

ABSTRACT The hierarchical quorum sensing (QS) systems of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, consisting of las, pqs, and rhl, coordinate the expression of bacterial virulence genes. Previous studies showed that under phosphate deficiency conditions, two-component regulatory system PhoRB could activate various g...
