RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE: THE ROLE OF QUORUM SENSING PLASTICITY IN PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA INFECTIONS AND ITS LINK TO INTRINSIC MECHANISMS OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

Bacteria use a cell-cell communication process called quorum sensing (QS) to orchestrate collective behaviors.QS relies on the group-wide detection of extracellular signal molecules called autoinducers (AI).Quorum sensing is required for virulence and biofilm formation in the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.In P.aeruginosa, LasR and RhlR are

PurposeNumerous studies have demonstrated a close relationship between choroidal thickness (ChT), sclera/choroidal hypoxia, and the onset and progression of myopia.Far-infrared (FIR) therapy is a traditional method used to enhance microcirculation.In this study, we estimated the effectiveness of FIR in myopia control and explored its underlying Eau
