Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a model quorum sensing (QS) pathogen with three interconnected QS circuits that control the production of virulence factors and antibiotic tolerant biofilms. The pqs QS system of P. aeruginosa is responsible for the biosynth...

Growth rate and nutrient limitation as key drivers of extracellular quorum sensing signal molecule accumulation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Microbiology, 169(4), Article 001316. https://doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.001316

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, quorum sensing (QS) depends on an interconnected regulatory hierarchy involving the Las, Rhl and Pqs systems, which are collectively responsible for the co-ordinated synthesis of a diverse repertoire of N-acylhomoserine lac...

Design of Quorum Sensing Inhibitor–Polymer Conjugates to Penetrate Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms (2023)
Journal Article
Soukarieh, F., Gurnani, P., Romero, M., Halliday, N., Stocks, M., Alexander, C., & Cámara, M. (2023). Design of Quorum Sensing Inhibitor–Polymer Conjugates to Penetrate Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms. ACS Macro Letters, 12(3), 314-319. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsmacrolett.2c00699

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat to public health with a forecast of a negative financial impact of one trillion dollars per annum, hence novel therapeutics are urgently needed. The resistance of many bacteria against current drugs i... Read More about Design of Quorum Sensing Inhibitor–Polymer Conjugates to Penetrate Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms.
