Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic, biofilm-forming pathogen. P. aeruginosa produces pyocyanin, a secondary metabolite as part of its quorum sensing signaling system activated during biofilm ...

The human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is particularly notorious for its multiple resistance mechanisms. A new concept for anti-infectives is the “pathoblocker” approach, which targets virulence ...

This pathogen secretes pyocyanin, a toxic compound that damages surrounding tissue and helps the infection spread. Early detection of pyocyanin could allow faster intervention, but current sensors ...

New research suggests roundworms can perceive color without eyes, raising questions about the evolution of color discrimination in animals.

Pyocyanin production from chorismic acid requires the involvement of two homologous operons, phz1 and phz2, which are activated by QS regulatory proteins. Pyocyanin inhibits the proliferation of ...

On the other hand, pyocyanin produced a highly monodispersed population of gold nanoparticles and anisotropic silver nanoparticles. Biologically obtained gold and silver nanoparticles retained ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a producer of desired secondary metabolites, including pyocyanin. Potential uses of this pigment urge a search for improved product ...

Researchers show how Pseudomonas bacteria use a self-produced signal molecule to selectively manipulate phages in a competing bacterial strain to defeat their enemy.

Computationally designed pyocyanin demethylase acts synergistically with tobramycin to kill recalcitrant Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms ...
