, 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
Journal 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.

Cheater suppression and stochastic clearance through quorum sensing.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 The evolutionary consequences of quorum sensing in regulating bacterial cooperation are not fully understood. In this study, we reveal unexpected effects of regulating public good production through quorum sensing on bacterial population dynamics ...

Dishonest Signaling in Microbial Conflicts
Frontiers 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.

The Evolution of Quorum Sensing as a Mechanism to Infer Kinship.
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

Pharmaceutics, 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.

Antibiotics, 2020 Both the ability of bacteria to form biofilms and communicate through quorum sensing allows them to develop different survival or virulence traits that lead to increased bacterial resistance against conventional antibiotic therapy.

eLife, 2016 Burkholderia thailandensis uses acyl-homoserine lactone-mediated quorum sensing systems to regulate hundreds of genes. Here we show that cell-cell contact-dependent type VI secretion (T6S) toxin-immunity systems are among those activated by quorum ...

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

Quorum sensing intervened bacterial signaling: Pursuit of its cognizance and repression
Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2018 Bacteria communicate within a system by means of a density dependent mechanism known as quorum sensing which regulate the metabolic and behavioral activities of a bacterial community.
