    • Identification of Anti-virulence Compounds That Disrupt Quorum-Sensing Regulated Acute and Persistent Pathogenicity 

      Starkey, Melissa; Lepine, Francois; Maura, Damien; Bandyopadhaya, Arunava; Lesic, Biljana; He, Jianxin; Kitao, Tomoe; Righi, Valeria; Milot, Sylvain; Tzika, Aria; Rahme, Laurence (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      Etiological agents of acute, persistent, or relapsing clinical infections are often refractory to antibiotics due to multidrug resistance and/or antibiotic tolerance. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic Gram-negative ...
    • Prediction of Multiple Infections After Severe Burn Trauma 

      Yan, Shuangchun; Tsurumi, Amy; Que, Yok-Ai; Ryan, Colleen M.; Bandyopadhaya, Arunava; Morgan, Alexander A.; Flaherty, Patrick J.; Tompkins, Ronald Gary; Rahme, Laurence G. (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2015)
      OBJECTIVE: To develop predictive models for early triage of burn patients based on hypersusceptibility to repeated infections. BACKGROUND: Infection remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity after severe trauma, ...
    • The Quorum Sensing Volatile Molecule 2-Amino Acetophenon Modulates Host Immune Responses in a Manner that Promotes Life with Unwanted Guests 

      Bandyopadhaya, Arunava; Kesarwani, Meenu; Que, Yok-Ai; He, Jianxin; Padfield, Katie; Tompkins, Ronald Gary; Rahme, Laurence G. (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Increasing evidence indicates that bacterial quorum sensing (QS) signals are important mediators of immunomodulation. However, whether microbes utilize these immunomodulatory signals to maintain infection remain unclear. ...
    • A Small Volatile Bacterial Molecule Triggers Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Murine Skeletal Muscle 

      Tzika, A. Aria; Constantinou, Caterina; Bandyopadhaya, Arunava; Psychogios, Nikolaos; Lee, Sangseok; Mindrinos, Michael; Martyn, J. A. Jeevendra; Tompkins, Ronald G.; Rahme, Laurence G. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Mitochondria integrate distinct signals that reflect specific threats to the host, including infection, tissue damage, and metabolic dysfunction; and play a key role in insulin resistance. We have found that the Pseudomonas ...
