RhlR, but not RhlI, allows P. aeruginosa bacteria to evade Drosophila Tep4- mediated opsonization

Samantha Haller, Adrien Franchet, Abdul Hakkim, Jing Chen, Eliana Drenkard, Shen Yu, Stefanie Schirmeier, Zi Li, Frederick M. Ausubel, Samuel Liégeois, Dominique Ferrandon

This study shows that RhlR, not RhlI, enables P. aeruginosa to evade Drosophila Tep4-mediated opsonization, highlighting a RhlI-independent immune evasion mechanism.
