چکیده
Pseudomonas aeruginosa can grow and survive under a wide range of conditions, including as human pathogen. As such, P. must be able to sense respond diverse signals cues in its environment.

Two-component systems required for virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a versatile opportunistic pathogen capable of infecting a broad range of hosts, in addition to thriving in a broad range of environmental conditions outside of hosts. With this versatility comes the need to tightly regulate its genome to optimise its gene expression and behaviour to the prevailing conditions. Two-component systems (TCSs) comprising sensor kinases and r...
متن کاملThe two-component sensor KinB acts as a phosphatase to regulate Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that is capable of causing both acute and chronic infections. P. aeruginosa virulence is subject to sophisticated regulatory control by two-component systems that enable it to sense and respond to environmental stimuli. We recently reported that the two-component sensor KinB regulates virulence in acute P. aeruginosa infection. Furthermore, it...
متن کاملRegulation of virulence and antibiotic resistance by two-component regulatory systems in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa ubiquitously inhabits soil and water habitats and also causes serious, often antibiotic resistant, infections in immunocompromised patients (e.g. cystic fibrosis). This versatility is mediated in part by a large repertoire of two-component regulatory systems that appear instrumental in the regulation of both virulence processes and...
متن کاملType IV pili mechanochemically regulate virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Bacteria have evolved a wide range of sensing systems to appropriately respond to environmental signals. Here we demonstrate that the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa detects contact with surfaces on short timescales using the mechanical activity of its type IV pili, a major surface adhesin. This signal transduction mechanism requires attachment of type IV pili to a solid surface, ...
