متن کاملGelatinous Variants of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to show considerable variation in colony form and physiological properties, including pigment production. Gaby (1946) has recently reported biochemical and other observations on certain "basic colony types." Mucoid variants of P. aeruginosa have been described by Sonnenschein (1927) and by Schwarz and Lazarus (1947); Fiala (1941) has described the appearance of "...
متن کاملTailor-made LasR agonists modulate quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The primary quorum sensing system in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is regulated through the synthesis and secretion of N-3-oxo-dodecanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C12) which binds the transcriptional activator LasR. In this study we report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new analogs of C12. Analysis of the autoinducer binding site cavity of LasR revealed a po...
متن کاملCandida albicans-produced farnesol stimulates Pseudomonas quinolone signal production in LasR-defective Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains
Candida albicans has been previously shown to stimulate the production of Pseudomonas aeruginosa phenazine toxins in dual-species colony biofilms. Here, we report that P. aeruginosa lasR mutants, which lack the master quorum sensing system regulator, regain the ability to produce quorum-sensing-regulated phenazines when cultured with C. albicans. Farnesol, a signalling molecule produced by C. a...
متن کاملContribution of proteases and LasR to the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa during corneal infections.
The roles of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa proteases LasB (elastase) and LasA and the transcriptional activator LasR, which regulates the expression of these proteases, were evaluated in a murine model of P. aeruginosa corneal infection. In scarified corneas, P. aeruginosa PAO-A1 (LasA negative) or PAO-B1A1 (LasB and LasA negative) at a dose of 10(8) CFU per eye caused very mild or no disease foll...
