P. aeruginosa features relevant to pathogenicity and adaptation. P. aeruginosa produces an impressive array of virulence factors to counteract host defenses and facilitate inter-bacterial competition. The expression of virulence genes in P. aeruginosa is controlled by extremely complex regulatory circuits and signaling systems. The diagram outlines key features relevant to its pathogenicity and survival in vivo
