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...
