Pseudomonas aeruginosa N-3-oxo-dodecanoyl-homoserine lactone elicits changes in cell volume, morphology and AQP9 characteristics in macrophages

Quorum sensing (QS) communication allows P. aeruginosa to collectively control its population density and the production of biofilms and virulence factors. QS signal molecules, like N-3-oxo-dodecanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (3O-C12-HSL), can also affect the behavior of host cells, e.g. by modulating t...
