Effect of chitosan nanoparticles on quorum sensing-controlled virulence factors and expression of LasI and RhlI genes among Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates

Antibiotic-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) pose a major threat for healthcare-associated and community-acquired infections. P. aeruginosa is recognized as an opportunistic pathogen using quorum sensing (QS) system to regulate the expression of virulence factors and biofil...
