Acyl homoserine lactones from culture supernatants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa accelerate host immunomodulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is multifactorial and under the control of quorum sensing signals, such as acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). The importance of these molecules in the establishment of infection has been previously reported.

Inhibition of Quorum Sensing-Mediated Biofilm Formation and Spoilage Factors in Pseudomonas fluorescens by Plasma-Activated Water [PDF]
FoodsPlasma-activated water (PAW) is an emerging disinfectant; however, its potential as a quorum sensing inhibitor (QSI) for biofilm control remains underexplored, and its action mechanisms have not been elucidated. This study investigated the effects of PAW

N-acyl homoserine lactone signaling modulates bacterial community associated with human dental plaque [PDF]
npj Biofilms and MicrobiomesDental plaque is a complex oral biofilm responsible for periodontal diseases. Bacterial biofilms are often regulated by Quorum Sensing (QS) mediated by N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). While their presence and roles in oral microbiota have been debated,

SdiA, an N-acylhomoserine lactone receptor, becomes active during the transit of Salmonella enterica through the gastrointestinal tract of turtles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 LuxR-type transcription factors are typically used by bacteria to determine the population density of their own species by detecting N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs).

Production of both l‐ and d‐ N‐acyl‐homoserine lactones by Burkholderia cepacia and Vibrio fischeri
MicrobiologyOpen, 2021 Quorum sensing (QS) is a complex process in which molecules, such as l‐N‐acyl‐homoserine lactones (l‐AHLs), are produced as essential signaling molecules allowing bacteria to detect and respond to cell population density by gene regulation.

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2023 Acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) are typical quorum-sensing molecules of gram-negative bacteria. Recent evidence suggests that AHLs may also affect gram-positives, although knowledge of these interactions remains scarce.
