Quorum Sensing and Phytochemicals [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013 Most infectious diseases are caused by bacteria, which proliferate within quorum sensing (QS)-mediated biofilms. Efforts to block QS in bacteria and disrupt biofilms have enabled the identification of bioactive molecules that are also produced by plants.

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
