Signal Disruption Leads to Changes in Bacterial Community Population

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The disruption of bacterial signaling (quorum quenching) has been proven to be an innovative approach to influence the behavior of bacteria. In particular, lactonase enzymes that are capable of hydrolyzing the N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) molecules ...

Quorum quenching: role in nature and applied developments [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2015
Quorum sensing (QS) refers to the capacity of bacteria to monitor their population density and regulate gene expression accordingly: the QS-regulated processes deal with multicellular behaviors (e.g. growth and development of biofilm), horizontal gene transfer and host-microbe (symbiosis and pathogenesis) and microbe-microbe interactions.

Quorum-Sensing Regulation of Antimicrobial Resistance in Bacteria

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Quorum sensing is a cell-to-cell communication system that exists widely in the microbiome and is related to cell density. The high-density colony population can generate a sufficient number of small molecule signals, activate a variety of downstream ...
