Inhibition of Quorum Sensing by a Pseudomonas aeruginosa dksA Homologue
Branny, Pavel; Pearson, James P.; Pesci, Everett C.; Kohler, Thilo; Iglewski, Barbara H.; Van Delden, Christian (East Carolina University, 2001-03)The Pseudomonas aeruginosa las (lasR-lasI) and rhl (rhlR-rhlI) quorum-sensing systems regulate the expression of several virulence factors, including elastase and rhamnolipid. P. aeruginosa strain PR1-E4 is a lasR deletion ... -
The Pseudomonas Quinolone Signal Regulates rhl Quorum Sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
McKnight, Susan L.; Iglewski, Barbara H.; Pesci, Everett C. (East Carolina University, 2000-05)The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses intercellular signals to control the density-dependent expression of many virulence factors. The las and rhl quorum-sensing systems function, respectively, through the ... -
Quinolone signaling in the cell-to-cell communication system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pesci, Everett C.; Milbank, Jared B. J.; Pearson, James P.; McKnight, Susan L.; Kende, Andrew S.; Greenberg, E. Peter; Iglewski, Barbara H. (East Carolina University, 1999-09-28)Numerous species of bacteria use an elegant regulatory mechanism known as quorum sensing to control the expression of specific genes in a cell-density dependent manner. In Gram-negative bacteria, quorum sensing ...
