Trypanosome Signaling—Quorum Sensing
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2021African trypanosomes are responsible for important diseases of humans and animals in sub-Saharan Africa. The best-studied species is Trypanosoma brucei, which is characterized by development in the mammalian host between morphologically slender and stumpy forms. The latter are adapted for transmission by the parasite's vector, the tsetse fly.

Quorum Sensing in Staphylococci
Annual Review of Genetics, 2008The staphylococcal agr locus encodes a quorum sensing (QS) system that controls the expression of virulence and other accessory genes by a classical two-component signaling module. Like QS modalities in other Gram-positive bacteria, agr encodes an autoactivating peptide (AIP) that is the inducing ligand for AgrC, the agr signal receptor.

Quorum-sensing signals are found in many species of legume-nodulating rhizobia. In a well-characterized strain of R. leguminosarum biovar viciae, a variety of autoinducers are synthesised, and all have been identified as N-acyl-homoserine lactones.

Quorum sensing of pathogenic bacteria and quorum-sensing inhibitors
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2012The emergence of antibiotic-resistant and especially multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria intensifies the need to screen new drug targets and develop new antibacterial drugs. Bacteria coordinate their virulent behaviors in a cell density-dependent manner known as quorum sensing (QS).

Farnesol and Candida albicans: Quorum Sensing or Not Quorum Sensing?
Israel Journal of Chemistry, 2015AbstractQuorum sensing (QS) molecules function within communities of single‐cell organisms to allow concerted behavior in response to changing conditions, and certain criteria have been established to determine whether a particular molecule is quorum sensing or not.

Quorum sensing is a cell-to-cell signaling mechanism by which bacteria coordinate gene expression in a density-dependent manner. Bacteria diffuse small signaling molecules that interact with transcription activators or sensor kinases to regulate gene transcription. By far the most extensively investigated family of intercellular signaling molecules are

Quorum sensing and quorum-quenching enzymes.
Journal of microbiology (Seoul, Korea), 2005To gain maximal benefit in a competitive environment, single-celled bacteria have adopted a community genetic regulatory mechanism, known as quorum sensing (QS). Many bacteria use QS signaling systems to synchronize target gene expression and coordinate biological activities among a local population.
