Pomegranate extract affects fungal biofilm production: consumption of phenolic compounds and alteration of fungal autoinducers release [PDF]
, 2022 Candida albicans expresses numerous virulence factors that contribute to pathogenesis, including its dimorphic transition and even biofilm formation, through the release of specific quorum sensing molecules, such as the autoinducers (AI) tyrosol and ...

The Autoinducer-2 Exporter Superfamily [PDF]
Microbial Physiology, 2010 The TqsA (YdgG) protein of <i>Escherichia coli</i> has been shown to export the autoinducer-2 (AI-2) molecule, a furanosyl borate diester that bears little resemblance to previously characterized biological molecules. TqsA belongs to a large superfamily, the AI-2 exporter (AI-2E) superfamily, of putative transporters with no other ...

Attenuation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence by Pomegranate Peel Extract
Microorganisms, 2022 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen often responsible for biofilm-associated infections. The high adhesion of bacterial cells onto biotic/abiotic surfaces is followed by production of an extracellular polysaccharidic matrix and formation ...

Quorum Sensing Interfering Strategies and Their Implications in the Management of Biofilm-Associated Bacterial Infections [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2020 The bacterial species employ various types of molecular communication systems recognized as quorum sensing for the synchronization of differential gene expression to regulate virulence traits and biofilm formation. A variety of quorum sensing inhibitors;

Quorum sensing in Vibrio fischeri: probing autoinducer-LuxR interactions with autoinducer analogs [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1996 The Vibrio fischeri luminescence genes are activated by the transcription factor LuxR in combination with a diffusible signal compound, N-(3-oxohexanoyl) homoserine lactone, termed the autoinducer. We have synthesized a set of autoinducer analogs. Many analogs with alterations in the acyl side chain showed evidence of binding to LuxR.

Bacterial Quorum-Sensing Systems and Their Role in Intestinal Bacteria-Host Crosstalk
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Quorum-sensing (QS) system is a rapidly developing field in which we are gradually expanding our understanding about how bacteria communicate with each other and regulate their activities in bacterial sociality.
