Quorum sensing by enteric pathogens
Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2007This review presents advances in our understanding of how pathogenic, enteric bacteria use quorum sensing to regulate several traits that allow them to establish and maintain infection in their host, including motility, biofilm formation, and virulence-specific genes.Quorum sensing in enteric bacteria has been elusive for a long time.

The most well studied of the more recently identified quorum-sensing molecules in fungi are small primary alcohols, thus chemically different from the acyl-homoserine lactones and modified peptides preferred by bacteria. These primary alcohols include farnesol and tyrosol in Candida albicans, and phenylethanol and tryptophol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

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

Rotifer quorum-sensing is similar in many respects to the more intensely studied bacterial quorum-sensing processes, suggesting that chemosensory processes for assessing conspecific population density may have ancient origins. The apparent involvement of the human steroidogenesis-inducing protein (SIP) in steroid production suggests a similar role for ...

Strategies for inhibiting quorum sensing
Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2017The ability of bacterial cells to synchronize their behaviour through quorum sensing (QS) regulatory networks enables bacterial populations to mount co-operative responses against competing micro-organisms and host immune defences and to adapt to environmental challenges. Since QS controls the ability of many pathogenic bacteria to cause disease, it is

Quorum sensing inhibitors: An overview
Biotechnology Advances, 2013Excessive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections has lead to the emergence of multiple drug resistant strains. Most infectious diseases are caused by bacteria which proliferate within quorum sensing (QS) mediated biofilms.

Quorum Sensing in Streptococci
2007Emerging studies aimed at understanding the molecular underpinnings of streptococcal infections highlight the importance of quorum sensing (QS) for biofilm formation and virulence in many streptococcal species. Among streptococci, the best characterized quorum sensing system belongs to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Although initially QS was believed to act
