Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii cell-cell signaling is mediated by production and release of N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), primarily N-(3-hydroxydodecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-hydroxy-C12-HSL). The secretion of this signal can be readily assessed via simple plate-based or thin-layer chromatography-based assays utilizing an Agrobacterium tumefaciens traG-lacZ containing biosensor. In this chapter, we describe methods to assay for secreted N-acyl homoserine lactone production in Acinetobacter baumannii.Entities:
