It would be interesting to determine if dopamine (a monoamine catecholamine compounds) in the environment affect bacterial social and motility behaviors. Understanding this interaction in P. aeruginosa species could provide new insights into the regulation of the virulence of this pathogen in both environmental and clinical settings. In this case report, we examined two clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa for their ability to produce biofilm with a chemotaxis behavior for the dopamine to explain this social behavior.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
