Stationary phase-specific virulence factor overproduction by a lasR mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Secreted virulence factors of the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa are often under quorum sensing control. Cells lacking the quorum-sensing regulator LasR show reduced virulence factor production under typical laboratory conditions and are hypo-virulent in short-term animal infection models, ye...
