This study identifies two distinct mechanisms of colistin resistance in P. aeruginosa driven by magnesium depletion, each with different fitness costs.

This study investigates how QteE and QslA antiactivators modulate RhlR activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, revealing their distinct and overlapping roles in quorum sensing regulation.

This paper identifies MexT-regulated factors that modulate quorum sensing hierarchy in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, revealing alternative QS architectures in clinical isolates.

The paper shows that inactivating MexT in Pseudomonas aeruginosa destabilizes cooperation and promotes the emergence of a specific LasR variant.

This study investigates how the nitrogen phosphotransferase system (PTSNtr) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa regulates quorum sensing, showing that PtsO and PtsN have distinct roles and regulons in controlling virulence gene expression.

This study investigates the role of pqsR and pqsE in the QS regulon of P. aeruginosa, finding limited influence of PqsR and conditional influence of PqsE on gene activation.
