Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021 Acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) is the most studied autoinducer in gram-negative bacteria controlling infections of various pathogens. Quenching of AHL signaling by inhibiting AHL synthesis or AHL-receptor binding via small molecular chemicals or ...

Resistance to Quorum-Quenching Compounds [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013 ABSTRACT Bacteria have the remarkable ability to communicate as a group in what has become known as quorum sensing (QS), and this trait has been associated with important bacterial phenotypes, such as virulence and biofilm formation. Bacteria also have an incredible ability to evolve resistance to all known antimicrobials.

Majalah Kedokteran Andalas, 2020 Background: Quorum-sensing is communication between bacterial involved in virulence. Bacterial virulence can be inhibited by quorum-quenching mechanism. Endophytic bacteria of pegagan leaf may produce secondary metabolit similar to bioactive compounds in

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;

A new class of quorum quenching molecules from Staphylococcus species affects communication and growth of gram-negative bacteria. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 The knowledge that many pathogens rely on cell-to-cell communication mechanisms known as quorum sensing, opens a new disease control strategy: quorum quenching.

Crystal Structures of a Quorum-quenching Antibody [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2007 A large number of Gram-negative bacteria employ N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) as signaling molecules in quorum sensing, which is a population density-dependent mechanism to coordinate gene expression. Antibody RS2-1G9 was elicited against a lactam mimetic of the N-acyl homoserine lactone and represents the only reported monoclonal antibody that ...

Quorum Quenching Revisited—From Signal Decays to Signalling Confusion
Sensors, 2012 In a polymicrobial community, while some bacteria are communicating with neighboring cells (quorum sensing), others are interrupting the communication (quorum quenching), thus creating a constant arms race between intercellular communication. In the past

Evolution of Resistance to Quorum Quenching in Digital Organisms [PDF]
Artificial Life, 2012 Quorum sensing (QS) is a collective behavior whereby actions of individuals depend on the density of the surrounding population. Bacteria use QS to trigger secretion of digestive enzymes, formation and destruction of biofilms, and, in the case of pathogenic organisms, expression of virulence factors that cause disease. Investigations of mechanisms that
