Essential Oils and Their Multifunctional Activities Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Current Evidence and Perspectives

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Essential oils show multifunctional activity against multidrug‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa by targeting bacterial membranes, quorum sensing, biofilm formation, virulence traits, and antibiotic susceptibility. Their translational potential depends on standardized composition, optimized delivery systems, safety assessment, and clinical validation ...

Pathogenic Mechanisms of V. vulnificus and Its Role in the Development of Sepsis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Sorafenib attenuates urethral scar formation by inhibiting β‐catenin signaling in fibroblasts, which downregulates the SLC7A11/GPX4 antioxidant axis and triggers ferroptosis. This β‐catenin–ferroptosis coupling effectively suppresses fibrogenesis, highlighting sorafenib as a promising drug‐repurposing candidate for urethral stricture.

Modeling captures the social interactions in the B. subtilis ComA network. [PDF]

, 2016
(A) Modeling results for the fitness advantage of the ExtraRap and ExtraCom strains over the wild-type. Shown in insets are schemes of the social interactions in the extreme cases in which one of the strains is a small minority. Arrow sizes represent the

Exploiting quorum sensing interfering strategies in gram-negative bacteria for the enhancement of environmental applications

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread intercellular form of communication to coordinate physiological processes and cooperative activities of bacteria at the population level, and it depends on the production, secretion, and detection of small diffusible ...

Mathematical modelling of bacterial quorum sensing: a review [PDF]

, 2016
Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) refers to the process of cell-to-cell bacterial communication enabled through the production and sensing of the local concentration of small molecules called autoinducers to regulate the production of gene products (e.g ...

Structure, Regulation, and Inhibition of the Quorum-Sensing Signal Integrator LuxO.

PLoS Biology, 2016
In a process called quorum sensing, bacteria communicate with chemical signal molecules called autoinducers to control collective behaviors. In pathogenic vibrios, including Vibrio cholerae, the accumulation of autoinducers triggers repression of genes ...

Effect of a chemical analogue of autoinducers of microbial anabiosis on the Ca2+ response of mycelial fungi [PDF]

, 2020
The microbial alkylhydroxybenzenes (AHB), which are anabiosis autoinducers also termed d1 factors, participate in the stress response of mycelial fungi, as determined from changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration.

The interaction of thin-film flow, bacterial swarming and cell differentiation in colonies of Serratia liquefaciens [PDF]

, 2000
The rate of expansion of bacterial colonies of S. liquefaciens is investigated in terms of a mathematical model that combines biological as well as hydrodynamic processes. The relative importance of cell differentiation and production of an extracellular

Asymmetric regulation of quorum-sensing receptors drives autoinducer-specific gene expression programs in Vibrio cholerae.

PLoS Genetics, 2017
Quorum sensing (QS) is a mechanism of chemical communication that bacteria use to monitor cell-population density and coordinate group behaviors. QS relies on the production, detection, and group-wide response to extracellular signal molecules called ...
