Common regulatory mechanisms act as a connection between virulence and antibiotic resistance. Quorum sensing and two component systems upregulate biofilm genes, which in turn upregulate quorum sensing molecules that in turn influence virulence and antibiotic resistance genes. Up-regulated virulence and antibiotic resistance genes serve to upregulate quorum sensing and two component systems and complete the cycle.
