A three-component logic gate governs quorum sensing-regulated killing of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Andrew Frando, Robert S. Parsek, Graham W Roberts, Ajai A. Dandekar

This study identifies a three-component logic gate involving HQNO, PqsE, and PQS biosynthesis that governs Pseudomonas aeruginosa-mediated killing of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
