Conservation of genome content and virulence determinants among clinical and environmental isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U S A. 100:2003;8484-8489 A range of clinical and environmental isolates was surveyed by chromosomal DNA hybridization to the sequenced strain PAO1 microarray. A high degree of gene conservation was found; suggesting that a core set of genes allows P. aeruginosa strains to thrive in diverse environments.

Autoinducer receptor mutants and the kinetics of regulation were also investigated, establishing approximately 6% of the genome as quorum regulated.

Attenuation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence by quorum sensing inhibitors. EMBO J. 22:2003;3803-3815 This paper characterizes the mode of action of a furanone analog that inhibits bacterial quorum sensing. Transcriptional profiles of autoinducer synthase mutants in the presence or absence of exogenous autoinducer determined the set of quorum sensing-regulated genes. This set of genes was specifically affected by addition of the furanone analog, establishing a gene-by-gene 'fingerprint' of drug action.
