Peptides as quorum sensing molecules : measurement techniques and obtained levels in vitro and in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The expression of certain bacterial genes is regulated in a cell-density dependent way, a phenomenon called quorum sensing. Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria use this type of communication, though the signal molecules (auto-inducers) used by ...

Quorum Sensing of Periodontal Pathogens

open access: yesActa Stomatologica Croatica, 2015
The term ‘quorum sensing’ describes intercellular bacterial communication which regulates bacterial gene expression according to population cell density. Bacteria produce and secrete small molecules, named autoinducers, into the intercellular space.

Quorum sensing

open access: yes, 2019
Quorum sensing is the intercellular communication used by a bacterial population, once it reaches a certain threshold, to collectively synchronize the expression of pathogenic traits, such as biofilm formation, swarming motility, and the production of virulence factors. This coordinated behaviour is mediated via small molecules called auto-inducers. In

Inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Quorum Sensing by Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. Extract

open access: yesJournal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2019
Microorganisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa have always been adaptable in surviving the harsh environment such as antimicrobial agents via the quorum sensing (QS) mechanism.

Dishonest Signaling in Microbial Conflicts

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Quorum sensing is a cell-cell communication system that bacteria use to express social phenotypes, such as the production of extracellular enzymes or toxins, at high cell densities when these phenotypes are most beneficial.

Strength in numbers? Not always!

open access: yes, 2010
We propose a simple model to compute the probability of success under a quorum sensing strategy. We show that a quorum sensing strategy has a higher probability of success than an individualistic strategy when, for instance, the probability of success ...

Drugs for the Quorum Sensing Inhibition of Oral Biofilm: New Frontiers and Insights in the Treatment of Periodontitis

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2022
Chemical molecules are used by microorganisms to communicate with each other. Quorum sensing is the mechanism through which microorganisms regulate their population density and activity with chemical signaling.

Bacterial Quorum Sensing and Microbial Community Interactions

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Many bacteria use a cell-cell communication system called quorum sensing to coordinate population density-dependent changes in behavior. Quorum sensing involves production of and response to diffusible or secreted signals, which can vary substantially ...

Transcriptome analysis of acyl-homoserine lactone-based quorum sensing regulation in Yersinia pestis [corrected]. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The etiologic agent of bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis, senses self-produced, secreted chemical signals in a process named quorum sensing. Though the closely related enteric pathogen Y.
