Unravelling the genome of long chain N-acylhomoserine lactone-producing Acinetobacter sp. strain GG2 and identification of its quorum sensing synthase gene

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Myriad proteobacteria use N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) molecules as quorum-sensing (QS) signals to regulate different physiological functions, including virulence, antibiotic production and biofilm formation.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Relay Architectures and Ecological Strategies of Quorum Sensing Effects on Microbial Interactions

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2026.
Quorum‐sensing activity in one population affects neighbouring populations through direct signal perception, QS‐regulated chemical effectors, or host‐ or environment‐mediated relays. Across distinct habitats, these relay architectures are associated with ecological strategies ranging from shared signal accessibility and reciprocal responsiveness to ...

Acyl-Homoserine Lactone Based Modulators for RhlI, a Quorum Sensing Signal Synthase in \u3cem\u3ePseudomonas aeruginosa\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]

, 2017
Gram-negative bacteria use N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) autoinducer based signal system, known as quorum sensing (QS), to modulate the gene expression for such traits as biofilm formation, toxin production, and antibiotic resistance.

Quorum Quenching Properties and Probiotic Potentials of Intestinal Associated Bacteria in Asian Sea Bass Lates calcarifer

Marine Drugs, 2019
Quorum quenching (QQ), the enzymatic degradation of N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), has been suggested as a promising strategy to control bacterial diseases.

Detection of quorum sensing signal molecules and identification of an autoinducer synthase gene among biofilm forming clinical isolates of Acinetobacter spp. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Quorum sensing is a term that describes an environmental sensing system that allows bacteria to monitor their own population density which contributes significantly to the size and development of the biofilm. Many gram negative bacteria use N-

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Selectivity and Efficiency of Conductive Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (c-MIP) Based on 5-Phenyl-Dipyrromethane and 5-Phenol-Dipyrromethane for Quorum Sensing Precursors Detection

Chemosensors, 2017
Functional polymers that selectively recognize target compounds are developed by imprinting polymerization. In the present paper, two different dipyrromethanes, 5-phenol-dipyrromethane (5-pOH-DP) and 5-phenyl-dipyrromethane (5-ph-DP), are synthetized and

Phenotypic expression of the gene‐for‐gene interaction in plant pathogenic bacteria: An implication for resistance to bacterial diseases by plants

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Plant pathogenic bacteria cause massive losses in agriculture and damage to natural plant habitats. Bacterial pathogens not only reduce crop production, but they also reduce crop quality by releasing toxins into the environment. Pathogenic bacteria that invade plant tissues must overcome the plant's defense mechanisms. Plants possess an innate

Use of acyl-homoserine lactone derivatives as anti-thrombotic agents

, 2016
Uses of acyl-homoserine lactone compounds are described. In particular, uses of acyl-homoserine lactone compounds as anti-thrombotic agents, to inhibit platelets from becoming hypersensitive, and/or to prevent thrombosis, are ...
