Abstract:Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global public health, with multidrug‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa being a leading cause of mortality, accounting for 18%–61% of deaths annually. The quorum sensing (QS) systems of P. aeruginosa, particularly the LasI‐LasR system, play a crucial role in promoting biofilm formation and expression of virulent genes, which contribute to the development of AMR. This study focuses on LasI, the mediator of biofilm formation for identifying its inhibitor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
