Quorum sensing is a chemical communication process that bacteria use to regulate collective behaviors. Disabling quorum-sensing circuits with small molecules has been proposed as a potential strategy ...

Bacteria utilise a sophisticated chemical communication system, known as quorum sensing, to assess their population density and coordinate group behaviours, including the formation of biofilms. This ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- University at Buffalo scientists have discovered a promising new drug lead that works by inhibiting the sophisticated bacterial communication system called quorum sensing. The new ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In the environment, multiple microbial taxa typically coexist as communities, competing for resources and, often, physically associated within ...

Neem Biotech, a company focused on developing novel solutions to address antimicrobial resistance, together with the Welsh Wound Innovation Centre and Sheffield Collaboratorium for Antimicrobial ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- A decade after microbiologists began to suspect that many groups of bacteria can communicate -- by releasing and detecting chemical pheromones to gauge their population density -- the ...

The focus of my research is in mathematical and computational biology with particular applications in ecology, infectious diseases, and agriculture through modeling, analysis, and simulations.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm development occurs in five stages. 1. Reversible attachment: Cells transiently affix to substratum, and surface induced gene expression results in a protein profile ...

Studies by scientists at Emory University suggest that traditional plant-based remedies used during the American Civil War to treat soldiers’ wounds could represent a source of modern-day antibiotics ...
