Article Synopsis
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses a complex communication system to manage virulence, promoting cooperative behavior among its cells, but this can disadvantage individual cells due to exploitation by non-mutants.
- Researchers studied how a mutant of the lasR regulator could regain cooperative growth after developing mutations in the mexT gene, which affects a multidrug-resistant pump.
- The study found that these mexT mutations enhance cooperation and reduce pump activity, indicating a conflict between developing antibiotic resistance and maintaining cooperative behavior within the population.
