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 ...

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.
