Caffeine as a Potential Quorum Sensing Inhibitor [PDF]
Sensors, 2013 Quorum sensing enables bacteria to control the gene expression in response to the cell density. It regulates a variety of bacterial physiological functions such as biofilm formation, bioluminescence, virulence factors and swarming which has been shown contribute to bacterial pathogenesis.

Evolution of Resistance to Quorum-Sensing Inhibitors [PDF]
Microbial Ecology, 2013 The major cause of mortality and morbidity in human beings is bacterial infection. Bacteria have developed resistance to most of the antibiotics primarily due to large-scale and "indiscriminate" usage. The need is to develop novel mechanisms to treat bacterial infections. The expression of pathogenicity during bacterial infections is mediated by a cell

Quorum sensing inhibitors: a bargain of effects [PDF]
Microbiology, 2006 Many opportunistic pathogenic bacteria rely on quorum sensing (QS) circuits as central regulators of virulence expression. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, QS-regulated gene expression contributes to the formation and maintenance of biofilms and their tolerance to conventional antimicrobials and the host innate immune system.

Biofilm Formation, Antimicrobial Resistance and Control of Vibrio Based on Quorum Sensing: A Review
Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2023 : Vibrio, Gram-negative pathogenic bacterium, are commonly found in aquatic environments. Not only it can cause food poisoning and wound infection in humans, but also easily lead to spoilage in seafood. Biofilm formation regulated by quorum sensing is an

Quorum Sensing of Periodontal Pathogens
Acta 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.

Attenuation of quorum sensing system and virulence in Vibrio cholerae by phytomolecules
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 The Vibrio cholerae, a gram-negative bacterium, is the causative agent of cholera. Quorum sensing is a cell-to-cell communication that leads to gene expression, accumulation of signaling molecules, biofilm formation, and production of virulence factors ...

Food as a Source for Quorum Sensing Inhibitors: Iberin from Horseradish Revealed as a Quorum Sensing Inhibitor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012 ABSTRACT Foods with health-promoting effects beyond nutritional values have been gaining increasing research focus in recent years, although not much has been published on this subject in relation to bacterial infections. With respect to treatment, a novel antimicrobial strategy, which is expected to transcend problems with ...
