Quorum Sensing as Antivirulence Target in Cystic Fibrosis Pathogens

Quorum Sensing as Antivirulence Target in Cystic Fibrosis Pathogens

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder which leads to the secretion of a viscous mucus layer on the respiratory epithelium that facilitates colonization by various bacterial pathogens. The problem of drug resistance has been reported for all the species able to colonize the...
