The first discovered and well-characterized bacterial quorum sensing (QS) system belongs
to Vibrio fischeri, which uses N-acyl homo-serine lactones (AHLs) for cell-cell signaling. AHL …

Quorum sensing, a bacterial signaling system that coordinates group behaviors as a
function of cell density, plays an important role in regulating viral (phage) defense …

In people with the genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF), bacterial infections involving the
opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa are a significant cause of morbidity and …

Quorum sensing (QS) regulates expression of many virulence genes in the opportunistic
human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There are two acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa has complex quorum sensing (QS)
circuitry, which involves two acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) systems, the LasI AHL synthase …

Many bacterial species communicate and cooperate with kin using a form of cell-cell
signaling called quorum sensing. Sensitivity and selectivity are fundamental properties of …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa populations evolving in cystic fibrosis lungs, animal hosts, natural
environments and in vitro undergo extensive genetic adaption and diversification. A …

Laboratory experiments have suggested that bacteria perform a range of cooperative
behaviors, which are favored because they are directed toward relatives (kin selection) …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate the expression of
multiple genes necessary for establishing and maintaining infection. It has previously been …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 is infected by the filamentous
bacteriophage Pf4. Pf4 virions promote biofilm formation, protect bacteria from antibiotics …
