Document Type
Article
Abstract
- The review article by Veetilvalappil et al. (DOI: 10.2217/fmb-2021-0158) provides a comprehensive and insightful overview of the virulence factors contributing to the pathogenic potential of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The authors have effectively summarized a vast amount of research, presenting a clear and concise picture of the bacterium's arsenal.
A particular strength of the article lies in its detailed exploration of both cell-associated and extracellular virulence factors. The discussion of quorum sensing and its role in regulating virulence factor expression is particularly valuable. Furthermore, the inclusion of recent findings on hypervirulent strains highlights the dynamic nature of P. aeruginosa's pathogenicity.
This review is an essential resource for researchers and clinicians working to understand and combat Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. By providing a solid foundation in the bacterium's virulence mechanisms, the authors have made a significant contribution to the field.
