The College of Science at the University of Basrah organized a seminar entitled (Quorum sensing and virulence factors genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa). by the graduate student . PhD  Hanan Salman Makki .

 The study aims .to demonstrate the effect of quorum sensing genes and virulence factor genes in different clinical samples taken from infected patients  with  Pseudomonas aeruginosa .

The study included collecting samples from different age groups infected with infection  and determining the extent of resistance of these bacteria to multiple antibiotic s using many mechanisms of virulence factors  that bacteria possess , especially the mechanisms of biofilms secreted  by bacteria and use ed to protect them from harsh environmental conditions , resistant antibiotics and evade the hosts  immune response , and the relationship of these biofilms to the quorum sensing system control the secretion of these biofilms and use new methods to inhibit virulence factor genes and use them to limit bacterial growth  .
