Bacterial Quorum Sensing and Microbial Community Interactions
mBio, 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 ...

Quorum-sensing systems as targets for antivirulence therapy [PDF]
, 2018 The development of novel therapies to control diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens is one of the major challenges we are currently facing. Many important plant, animal, and human pathogens regulate virulence by quorum sensing, bacterial cell-

Quorum-Sensing Signals and Quorum-Sensing Genes in Burkholderia vietnamiensis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2002 ABSTRACT Acyl-homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) quorum sensing is common to many Proteobacteria including a clinical isolate of Burkholderia cepacia . The B. cepacia isolate produces low levels of octanoyl-HSL. We have examined an environmental isolate of

Penghambatan Quorum Sensing Sebagai Alternatif Terapi Penyakit Infeksi Yang Disebabkan Oleh Bakteri [PDF]
, 2005 The latest discoveries in the field of microbiology have proved that bacteria communicate eachother. The process of cell to cell communication is called quorum sensing. Quorum sensing wasfirst discovered in two luminous bacteria called Vibrio harveyi and

A Strategy for Antagonizing Quorum Sensing [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2011 Quorum-sensing bacteria communicate via small molecules called autoinducers to coordinate collective behaviors. Because quorum sensing controls virulence factor expression in many clinically relevant pathogens, membrane-permeable quorum sensing antagonists that prevent population-wide expression of virulence genes offer a potential route to novel ...

Microfluidics-based liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry multiple reaction monitoring approach for the relative quantification of Burkholderia cenocepacia secreted virulence factors [PDF]
, 2018 Rationale: Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen that is commonly isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Quorum sensing has been suggested to play a role in the activity of type II and type VI secretion systems and the release ...

Quorum sensing in the immune system [PDF]
Nature Reviews Immunology, 2018 Quorum sensing is the regulation of gene expression programmes in response to changes in population density. It is probably best recognized as a mechanism through which bacterial communities can synchronize behaviours, such as biofilm formation and bioluminescence.
