Quorum sensing: the power of cooperation in the world of Pseudomonas

Abstract

Summary: Work over the past few years has provided evidence that quorum sensing is a generic regulatory mechanism that allows bacteria to launch a unified, coordinated response in a population density‐dependent manner to accomplish tasks which would be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve for a single bacterial cell. Quorum sensing systems are widespread among pseudomonads and the one of the human opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa belongs to the most extensively studied cell‐to‐cell communication systems. In this organism, quorum sensing is highly complex and is made up of two interlinked N‐ acyl homoserine lactone (AHL)‐dependent regulatory circuits, which are further modulated by a non‐AHL‐related signal molecule and numerous regulators acting both at the transcriptional and post‐transcriptional level. This genetic complexity may be one of the key elements responsible for the tremendous environmental versatility of P. aeruginosa . Work of the past few years showed that quorum sensing is essential for the expression of a battery of virulence factors as well as for biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa and thus represents an attractive target for the design of novel drugs for the treatment of P. aeruginosa infections. Furthermore, the cell‐to‐cell communication ability was also demonstrated in a number of additional pseudomonads.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
