This review summarizes the recent progress in responsive NO‐releasing materials and their applications in biofilm‐associated infectious diseases. The design principles and response mechanisms are given to provide inspiration toward the future development of multi‐responsive NO‐releasing materials.

Nutrient influenced autoinducers in biofilms as sources of heterogeneity and estimators for environmental changes. [PDF]
Autoinducer regulation of gene expression is thought to coordinate homogeneous cellular activity within a population in a cell density dependent way, called quorum sensing.

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Antimicrobial resistance is a critical global health challenge, driven by the rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens and exacerbated by extensive antibiotic use, which imposes intense selective pressure and disrupts host-associated ...

Information processing and signal integration in bacterial quorum sensing
Bacteria communicate using secreted chemical signaling molecules called autoinducers in a process known as quorum sensing. The quorum‐sensing network of the marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi uses three autoinducers, each known to encode distinct ecological

The lux autoinducer-receptor interaction in Vibrio harveyi: binding parameters and structural requirements for the autoinducer [PDF]
To assess the binding parameters and the structure-function relationship of the Vibrio harveyi lux autoinducer, N-(D-3-hydroxybutanoyl)homoserine lactone (D-HBHL), to light emission, a series of acylhomoserine lactone analogues were synthesized and their effects on the stimulation of luminescence of an autoinducer-deficient mutant of V.

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

Thymus vulgaris essential oil (TvEO), largely composed of thymol, showed strong bactericidal activity with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) being most sensitive. TvEO markedly inhibited MRSA biofilm formation and significantly reduced established biofilms. Molecular docking suggests several TvEO components interact with proteins involved in S.

AinS and a new family of autoinducer synthesis proteins [PDF]
In Vibrio fischeri, the autoinducer N-3-oxohexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (AI-1) governs the cell density-dependent induction of the luminescence operon via the LuxR transcriptional activator. The synthesis of AI-1 from bacterial metabolic intermediates is dependent on luxI. Recently, we found a second V.

Rhamnolipids biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the presence of the exogenous autoinducers of intercellular cooperation [PDF]
Rhamnolipids biosurfactants are one of the most important secondary metabolites in P. aeruginosa controlled by quorum sensing system. The aim of this work was discovering of the rhamnolipids biosynthesis in P.
