Type IV pili (T4P) are one of the most common forms of bacterial and archaeal surface
structures, involved in adherence, motility, competence for DNA uptake, and pathogenesis …

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 …

The virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, is
regulated by many transcriptional factors (TFs) that control the expression of quorum …

Biofilms are surface-attached multicellular communities. Using single-cell tracking
microscopy, we showed that a pilY1 mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is defective in …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a metabolically versatile environmental bacterium and an
opportunistic human pathogen that relies on numerous signaling pathways to sense …

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as in most bacterial species, the expression of genes is tightly
controlled by a repertoire of transcriptional regulators, particularly the so-called sigma (σ) …

Cyclic AMP (cAMP) plays a key regulatory role in most types of cells; however, the pathways
controlled by cAMP may present important differences between organisms and between …

Biofilms are multicellular communities of microbes that are encased within an extracellular
matrix. Environmental factors induce bacteria to form biofilm. Bacteria have several …

Multiple virulence systems in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa are
regulated by the second messenger signalling molecule adenosine 3′, 5′‐cyclic …

Aggregating and forming biofilms on biotic or abiotic surfaces are ubiquitous bacterial
behaviors under various conditions. In clinical settings, persistent presence of biofilms …
