Decoding the genetic and functional diversity of the DSF Quorum-Sensing system in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

Decoding the genetic and functional diversity of the DSF Quorum-Sensing system in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia uses the Diffusible Signal Factor (DSF) quorum sensing (QS) system to mediate intra- and interspecific signalling and regulate virulence-related processes. The components of this system are encoded by the rpf cluster, with genes rpfF and rpfC encoding for the DSF synthas...
