is an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen involved in a wide spectrum of acute and chronic infections, also causing severe nosocomial complications. Among its multiple virulence determinants, the quorum sensing (QS) signaling system is used to control and coordinate the production of other virulence factors required for colonizing and persistence in different environmental conditions, but also for interfering with the host core signaling pathways. Here we review the host response mechanisms in
