The Evolution of Quorum Sensing as a Mechanism to Infer Kinship. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2016 Bacteria regulate many phenotypes via quorum sensing systems. Quorum sensing is typically thought to evolve because the regulated cooperative phenotypes are only beneficial at certain cell densities. However, quorum sensing systems are also threatened by

A quorum sensing-disrupting brominated thiophenone with a promising therapeutic potential to treat luminescent vibriosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Vibrio harveyi is amongst the most important bacterial pathogens in aquaculture. Novel methods to control this pathogen are needed since many strains have acquired resistance to antibiotics.

Quorum quenching: Signal jamming in dental plaque biofilms [PDF]
Journal of Dental Sciences, 2016 Quorum sensing helps bacteria to communicate with each other and in coordinating their behavior. Many diseases of humans, plants, and animals are mediated by communication called quorum sensing.
