Bacteria are highly interactive and possess an extraordinary repertoire of intercellular
communication and social behaviors, including quorum sensing (QS). QS has been studied …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an ubiquitous pathogen capable of infecting virtually all
tissues. A large variety of virulence factors contribute to its importance in burn wounds, lung …

Kong K‐F, Schneper L, Mathee K. Beta‐lactam antibiotics: from antibiosis to resistance and
bacteriology. APMIS 2010; 118: 1–36. This review focuses on the era of antibiosis that led to …

The present paper presents a hypothesis aimed at explaining why venous leg ulcers,
pressure ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers develop into a chronic state. We propose that the …

Bacterial communication via quorum sensing (QS) has been reported to be important in the
production of virulence factors, antibiotic sensitivity, and biofilm development. Two QS …

Many gram-negative bacteria communicate by N-acyl homoserine lactone signals called
autoinducers (AIs). In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, cell-to-cell signaling controls expression of …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses intercellular signals to control
the density-dependent expression of many virulence factors. The las and rhl quorum …

Contact lenses represent a widely utilized form of vision correction with more than 140
million wearers worldwide. Although generally well-tolerated, contact lenses can cause …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes chronic lung infections
in cystic fibrosis patients and is a major source of nosocomial infections. This bacterium …

The Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing systems, las and rhl, control the production
of numerous virulence factors. In this study, we have used the burned-mouse model to …
