Specific quorum sensing-disrupting activity (A(QSI)) of thiophenones and their therapeutic potential [PDF]
, 2015 Disease caused by antibiotic resistant pathogens is becoming a serious problem, both in human and veterinary medicine. The inhibition of quorum sensing, bacterial cell-to-cell communication, is a promising alternative strategy to control disease. In this

Quorum-quenching limits quorum-sensing exploitation by signal-negative invaders [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractSome bacteria produce and perceive quorum-sensing (QS) signals that coordinate several behaviours, including the costly processes that are exoenzyme production and plasmid transfer. In the case of plasmid transfer, the emergence of QS signal-altered invaders and their policing are poorly documented.

Reviewing Microbial Behaviors in Ecosystems Leading to a Natural Quorum Quenching Occurrence
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2017 Quorum sensing is considered one of the most important discoveries in cell-to-cell communication. Although revealed in Bacteria, it has been identified as well as a mechanism present in the other two domains, Eukaryota and Archaea.
