Interactions among quorum sensing inhibitors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Many pathogenic bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) systems to regulate the expression of virulence genes in a density-dependent manner. In one widespread QS paradigm the enzyme LuxI generates a small diffusible molecule of the acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)

Small Molecule Inhibitors of Bacterial Quorum Sensing
Medical Sciences Forum, 2022 Quorum sensing is a bacterial mechanism that is essential in the pathogenesis of many infections, such as P. aeruginosa. These infections are strongly influenced by specific quorum sensing molecules, such as Autoinducer-2 (AI-2).

Effect of Autoinducer-2 Quorum Sensing Inhibitor on Interspecies Quorum Sensing
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Bacterial drug resistance caused by overuse and misuse of antibiotics is common, especially in clinical multispecies infections. It is of great significance to discover novel agents to treat clinical bacterial infections. Studies have demonstrated that autoinducer-2 (AI-2), a signal molecule in quorum sensing (QS), plays an important role in ...
