Development of Polymeric Materials to Inhibit Bacterial Quorum Sensing [PDF]
, 2014 Bacterial infections are an increasing problem for human health. In fact, an increasing number of infections are caused by bacteria that are resistant to most antibiotics and their combinations. A new solution to fight bacteria and infectious diseases,

Gut Microbes, 2023 Quorum Sensing (QS) is a form of cell-to-cell communication that enables bacteria to modify behavior according to their population density. While QS has been proposed as a potential intervention against pathogen infection, QS-mediated communication ...

Amplifying the innate immune response : cell-cell propagation of proinflammatory signals during bacterial infection [PDF]
, 2012 The enteroinvasive bacterium Shigella flexneri uses multiple secreted effector proteins to downregulate interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression in infected epithelial cells. Nevertheless, massive IL-8 secretion is observed in shigellosis. In this thesis, a novel

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.

Indole intercepts the communication between enteropathogenic E. coli and Vibrio cholerae
Gut Microbes, 2022 Reported numbers of diarrheal samples exhibiting co-infections or multiple infections, with two or more infectious agents, are rising, likely due to advances in bacterial diagnostic techniques.

Bacterial Communities: Interactions to Scale [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 In the environment, bacteria live in complex multispecies communities. These communities span in scale from small, multicellular aggregates to billions or trillions of cells within the gastrointestinal tract of animals. The dynamics of bacterial communities are determined by pairwise interactions that occur between different species in the community ...

The defensome of complex bacterial communities
Nature Communications, 2023 AbstractBacteria have developed various defense mechanisms to avoid infection and killing in response to the fast evolution and turnover of viruses and other genetic parasites. Such pan-immune system (defensome) encompasses a growing number of defense lines that include well-studied innate and adaptive systems such as restriction-modification, CRISPR ...

The Origins of Cooperative Bacterial Communities [PDF]
mBio, 2012 ABSTRACT Bacteria live in complex multispecies communities. Intimately interacting bacterial cells are ubiquitous on biological and mineral surfaces in all habitats. Molecular and cellular biologists have unraveled some key mechanisms that modulate bacterial interactions, but the ecology and evolution of these associations remain poorly ...
