“…At present, the QS system (Figure 3) is more deeply understood in P. aeruginosa , which harbors four types of QS systems, including two LuxI/LuxR‐type (LasI/LasR and RhlI/RhlR) systems, a pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) system, and an integrating quorum sensing signal (IQS) system, all of which influence almost 10% of gene expression in P. aeruginosa , constituting a hierarchical regulatory network (Shrikant & Chandrajit, 2018). These four types of systems synthesize N‐3‐oxododecanyol‐L‐homoserine lactone (3OC12HSL), N‐butanoyl‐L‐homoserine lactone (C4‐HSL), 2‐heptyl‐3‐hydroxy‐4‐quinolone (PQS), and IQS as respective signal molecules to form complexes with corresponding receptors, and then activate genes encoding virulence factors such as elastase, proteases, rhamnolipids, hemolysins, toxins, pyocyanin, and alginate, which usually damage tissues and organs and interfere with the defense mechanisms of the human immune system, triggering different types of infection (Guo et al., 2014; Kitao et al., 2018). Moreover, swarming motility and biofilm formation are also under the control of QS system in P. aeruginosa (Rutherford & Bassler, 2012).…”
