Schematic of the collective stress response. Antibiotics and bacteriophage inhibit swarming motility and induce the production and release of PQS. The release of PQS repels swarms such that untreated bacteria do not approach the infected/treated area. The stress response potentially reduces the spread of phage and the exposure of P. aeruginosa to antibiotics.
