Pseudomonas aeruginosa: novel insights into how bacterium causes sickness
New research reveals how Pseudomonas aeruginosa delivers toxins via communication molecules to cause illness.
New research reveals how Pseudomonas aeruginosa delivers toxins via communication molecules to cause illness.
Take a look behind the scenes of a recent Future Microbiology review as we ask the authors about quorum quenching and using nanoparticles as antibiotics.
A bacteriophage, VP882, has been identified to use bacterial quorum-sensing as a method to control the lysis-lysogeny decision. This is the first time a virus has been shown to detect a bacterial molecule.
