Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing modulates immune responses: An updated review article

Ashraf Kariminik et al. Immunol Lett. 2017 Oct.

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium which induces some complications in immunocompromised patients. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a quorum-sensing using bacterium which regulates its genes expression. The bacterium uses two famous pathways for quorum sensing entitled LasI/LasR and RhlI/RhlR systems. It has been documented that the bacteria which use quorum sensing are able to overcome immune responses. This review article aims to present recent information regarding the effects of Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing systems on the host immune responses.

Keywords: 3O-C12-HSL; C4-HSL; Immune system; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Quorum sensing.
