...The third autoinducer is a 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone designated the Pseudomonas quinolone signal, which is synthesized by a complex multistep process involving two operons, pqsABCDE and phnAB, and three genes located outside these operons, pqsR, pqsH, and pqsL (Deep et al., 2011; Heeb et al., 2011)....

...These QS systems act in a hierarchical manner, with the las system positively regulating both rhl and the production of quinolones (Heeb et al., 2011)....

...For instance, P. aeruginosa encodes at least 12 RND systems (Stover et al., 2000; Schweizer, 2003), eight of which (MexAB-OprM, MexCD-OprJ, MexEF-OprN, MexXYOprM, MexJK-OprM, MexHI-OpmD, MexVW-OprM and MexPQ-OpmE) have been reported to export fluoroquinolones and other antibiotics (Chuanchuen et…...

...…QS systems are linked to AQ production and regulation, forming an incoherent feed-forward loop likely to produce accelerated pulse-like responses (Alon, 2007): the las system positively controls AQ production by inducing the pqsR and pqsA promoters and the rhl system downregulates its effects…...

...Therefore, it appears that PtxR could be part of an intricate network of feed-forward loops (Alon, 2007) that connect the las, rhl and pqs QS systems....
