Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel N-α-haloacylated homoserine lactones as quorum sensing modulators [PDF]
Novel N-α-haloacylated homoserine lactones, in which a halogen atom was introduced at the α-position of the carbonyl function of the N-acyl chain, have been studied as quorum sensing (QS) modulators and compared with a library of natural N-acylated ...

Transcriptional downregulation of agr expression in Staphylococcus aureus during growth in human serum can be overcome by constitutively active mutant forms of the sensor kinase AgrC [PDF]
The temporal and cell density-dependent regulation of expression of virtually all the Staphylococcus aureus virulon is under the control of the agr (accessory gene regulatory) operon.

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 Function of Cyclo(Phe-Pro) in Gene Expression of Vibrio Harveyi [PDF]
Vibrio harveyi is a bioluminescent bacterium and the organism in which quorum sensing was discovered. It was recently found that a class of molecules, cyclic dipeptides, may be a new kind of quorum sensing signal that may affect other species in the ...

Genome-wide survey and phylogeny of S-Ribosylhomocysteinase (LuxS) enzyme in bacterial genomes [PDF]
Background: The study of survival and communication of pathogenic bacteria is important to combat diseases caused by such micro-organisms. Bacterial cells communicate with each other using a density-dependent cell-cell communication process called ...

Dietary and phytogenic inclusion effects on the broiler chicken cecal ecosystem
Dietary modulation in broilers is crucial for the establishment of beneficial microbiota and, subsequently, the promotion of intestinal health. In this trial, a 2 × 2 factorial design was used with two different specifications with respect to dietary ...

How Salmonella Works Under Osmotic and Desiccation Stresses
ABSTRACT Salmonella remains one of the leading threats in foods with reduced water activity, where it can survive for long periods and cause outbreaks. Its persistence stems from a wide array of adaptive strategies shaped by the selective pressures imposed by low‐moisture foods.
