Crystal Structures of a Quorum-quenching Antibody [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 Sensing and Quorum Quenching in Agrobacterium: A “Go/No Go System”? [PDF]

open access: yesGenes, 2018
The pathogen Agrobacterium induces gall formation on a wide range of dicotyledonous plants. In this bacteria, most pathogenicity determinants are borne on the tumour inducing (Ti) plasmid. The conjugative transfer of this plasmid between agrobacteria is regulated by quorum sensing (QS). However, processes involved in the disturbance of QS also occur in

DETECTION OF QUORUM QUENCHING -PRODUCING BACTERIA FROM RHIZOSPHERE SOIL AS A BIOCONTROL AGENTS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Quorum sensing is known as a communication mechanism among bacteria to control gene expression such as bioluminescence, pigmentation, and pathogenicity. Quorum quenching is known as inhibition of quorum sensing activity.

Attenuation of quorum sensing using computationally designed polymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
It is generally accepted that the majority of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria communicate via production and sensing of small signal molecules, autoinducers.

Pseudomonas chlororaphis L5 and Enterobacter asburiae L95 biocontrol Dickeya soft rot diseases by quenching virulence factor modulating quorum sensing signal

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2023
Virulence factor modulating (VFM) is a quorum sensing (QS) signal shared by and specific to Dickeya bacteria, regulating the production of plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) and virulence of Dickeya. High polarity and trace of VFM signal increase

A Rhodococcal Transcriptional Regulatory Mechanism Detects the Common Lactone Ring of AHL Quorum-Sensing Signals and Triggers the Quorum-Quenching Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The biocontrol agent Rhodococcus erythropolis disrupts virulence of plant and human Gram-negative pathogens by catabolizing their N-acyl-homoserine lactones.

Engineering quorum-quenching enzymes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Biofilms are structured communities of bacteria that adhere to surfaces and shield bacteria from hostile surroundings. They are implicated in 75% of all infections in humans and are difficult to treat.

Development of Polymeric Materials to Inhibit Bacterial Quorum Sensing [PDF]

open access: yes, 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,

Screening of N-Acyl Homoserine Lactone-degrading Bacteria and Evaluation of Their Quorum Quenching Activities

open access: yesShipin gongye ke-ji
To study the types of quorum quenching bacteria in soil and their quorum quenching characteristics, the study screened, isolated, and identified quorum quenching strains from soil and assessed their quorum quenching properties, the inhibitory and ...
