Signaling Molecules in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Response to Antibiotics at Sub-Inhibitory Concentrations

Calistus C. Williams, G. A. Ajibade, Victoria Moltong Yilwa & Nwankwo Cornelius Tochukwu · Asian Journal of Biotechnology and Bioresource Technology · 2024

Signaling Molecules are N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) that form the Pseudomonas aeruginosa cell information system which determines gene expressions in a population dependent manner called quorum sensing (QS). Signal molecules, which are chemically varied, control genes expres...
