  "summary": "Many bacteria engage in quorum sensing (QS), a cell-cell communication system used to coordinate group behaviors. In one type of QS, acyl-homoserine lactone signals generated by LuxI homologs bind to LuxR homolog transcription factors, usually resulting in gene activation. The genome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa encodes three such LuxR homologs: LasR, RhlR, and QscR. Of these, LasR regulates the…",
