PQS-Induced Outer Membrane Vesicles Enhance Biofilm Dispersion in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

A. C. Cooke, C. Florez, E. B. Dunshee, A. D. Lieber, M. L. Terry, C. J. Light, J. W. Schertzer

This study shows that PQS-induced outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) enhance biofilm dispersion in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by degrading matrix components, facilitating cell escape.
