Additionnal Information
Pyocyanin (Pyocyanine; Sanazin; Sanasin) is a redox-active toxin produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa that generates oxidative stress and selectively harms quorum sensing (QS) -defective mutant bacteria. It acts as a social policing agent, promoting the survival of QS-proficient and more virulent bacterial populations.
