Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication process used by bacteria to coordinate their behavior based on population density. This mechanism plays a crucial role in the formation of biofilms ...

Researchers have identified many species of bacteria that interrelate gene regulation with their neighbors to control a variety of processes, including symbiosis, virulence, antibiotic resistance, and ...

Finally, biofilm-forming bacteria use chemical communication, called quorum sensing, to coordinate their metabolism (Camilli and Bassler 2006). Bacteria release chemical signals that are sensed by ...

So far, I have developed and studied models for biofilms, quorum sensing, t6ss killing, and characterizations to determine the success of bacterial genotypes in ecological processes, within-host ...

(Hiltunen et al., 2016) We are also interested in different approaches to fight biofilms. Quorum sensing is the communication system of microorganisms that allows them to adopt community-based ...
