Roles of Two-Component Systems in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Virulence

<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> is an opportunistic pathogen that synthesizes and secretes a wide range of virulence factors. <i>P. aeruginosa</i> poses a potential threat to human health worldwide due to its omnipresent nature, robust host accumulation, high virulence, and sig...

description <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> is an opportunistic pathogen that synthesizes and secretes a wide range of virulence factors. <i>P. aeruginosa</i> poses a potential threat to human health worldwide due to its omnipresent nature, robust host accumulation, high virulence, and significant resistance to multiple antibiotics. The pathogenicity of <i>P. aeruginosa</i>, which is associated with acute and chronic infections, is linked with multiple virulence factors and associated secretion systems, such as the ability to form and utilize a biofilm, pili, flagella, alginate, pyocyanin, proteases, and toxins.
