Interference of Quorum Sensing by Delftia sp. VM4 Depends on the Activity of a Novel N-Acylhomoserine Lactone-Acylase. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Turf soil bacterial isolate Delftia sp. VM4 can degrade exogenous N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL), hence it effectively attenuates the virulence of bacterial soft rot pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp.

Quorum quenching quandary: resistance to antivirulence compounds [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2011
Abstract Quorum sensing (QS) is the regulation of gene expression in response to the concentration of small signal molecules, and its inactivation has been suggested to have great potential to attenuate microbial virulence. It is assumed that unlike antimicrobials, inhibition of QS should cause less Darwinian selection pressure for ...

PvdQ Quorum Quenching Acylase Attenuates Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence in a Mouse Model of Pulmonary Infection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the predominant pathogen in pulmonary infections associated with cystic fibrosis. Quorum sensing (QS) systems regulate the production of virulence factors and play an important role in the establishment of successful P ...

Halogen‐Mediated Polymer‐Free Recovery of Pristine MoS2 Monolayers From Gold‐Assisted Exfoliation

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Schematic procedure for halogen‐mediated polymer‐free recovery of pristine MoS2 monolayers from gold‐assisted exfoliation. ABSTRACT Metal‐assisted mechanical exfoliation has recently emerged as a powerful strategy for producing large‐area monolayers of two‐dimensional (2D) transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with near‐intrinsic crystalline quality.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

The flavonoid-sensing regulator AefR is involved in modulating quorum sensing through repressing the MexEF-OprN efflux pump in Pseudomonas fluorescens

mSystems
Flavonoids, a major component of plant root exudates, play a crucial role in mediating plant-microbe interactions. However, the mechanisms by which flavonoids are perceived and trigger downstream signaling events in microbes remain largely unknown.
