What Is Quorum Sensing? Individual bacteria use quorum sensing to detect and respond to changes in cell density as a coordinated group. For example, the first reported evidence of quorum sensing was ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Bacteria produce slimy biofilms to coat and protect themselves and make them less susceptible to antimicrobial drugs and chemical cleaning products. The biofilms have implications for health and ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is notorious for its role in food spoilage and infections, posing a significant threat to both food safety and human health. Traditionally, antimicrobial agents have been the go ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses the quorum sensing (QS) system to regulate virulence factors expression and biofilm development. Researchers from Jinan University reported on novel inhibitors of P.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global health challenge by compromising the effectiveness of current therapies for infectious diseases. While ...

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 ...

In infectious disease research, it is widely accepted that disrupting bacterial communication signals is beneficial. But this is not always the case, reveals a study from UNIGE and NTU Singapore. Is ...

It has been reported that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) for biofilm bacteria are 10 to 1000 times higher than the corresponding values for ...

Scientists at the University of Nottingham have discovered how specific surface patterns on plastics used for medical devices can drastically reduce the ability of bacteria to attach and multiply, ...
