Prevention of biofilm formation by quorum quenching [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2020 Abstract Quorum sensing (QS) is a mechanism that enables microbial communication. It is based on the constant secretion of signaling molecules to the environment. The main role of QS is the regulation of vital processes in the cell such as virulence factor production or biofilm formation.

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.
