Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing systems as drug discovery targets: current position and future perspectives (2018)
Journal Article
Soukarieh, F., Williams, P., Stocks, M. J., & Camara, M. (in press). Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing systems as drug discovery targets: current position and future perspectives. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.8b00540

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to public health globally, manifested by the frequent emergence of multi-drug resistant pathogens that render current chemotherapy inadequate. Health organizations worldwide have recognized the sever... Read More about Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing systems as drug discovery targets: current position and future perspectives.

Effect of surfactant on Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization of polymer microparticles and flat films (2018)
Journal Article
