Abstract: Methods for modulating quorum sensing in certain Gram-negative bacteria having multiple QS systems including Las, Rhl, and Pqs with associated receptors (LasR, RhlR and PqsR) which are modulated by small molecule modulators, particularly non-native modulators. Certain combinations of modulators of Las, Rhl and Pqs exhibit improved inhibition of virulence in comparison to the respective individual modulators. In particular, certain combinations of modulators exhibit improved inhibition in nutritionally depleted environments. More specifically, certain combinations of modulators exhibit improved inhibition in environments depleted in phosphate and/or environments depleted in iron. Nutrient depleted environments can mimic environments associated with bacterial infection in humans and non-human animals. The methods are useful in particular for modulating QS in Pseudomonas and Burkholderia.

Abstract: Items may be displayed on a selection list and at least a portion of a virtual wheel displayed on a user interface. The selection list and virtual wheel may be configured to operate in conjunction with one another. The virtual wheel may be rotationally repositioned by a first input received at the user interface to change items displayed concurrently with the rotation of the virtual wheel. A second input received at the user interface may be used to select one of the items displayed on the at least a portion of the virtual wheel as a selection associated with an item displayed on the selection list for further processing. As selections are made on the virtual wheel the selection list displays selections being made to provide a status of activity using the virtual wheel.
