Quorum sensing is a population-density-dependent signalling mechanism by which bacteria coordinate gene expression through the secretion and detection of small diffusible molecules. In pathogenic ...

Fungal pathogens coordinate collective behaviours through quorum sensing, a cell-density-dependent communication system that relies on the secretion and detection of small signalling molecules. In ...

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 ...

A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have challenged the widely held assumption in infectious disease research that blocking ...

Quorum sensing and quenching: A microbial dial for carbon-neutral wastewater treatment. This schematic summarizes how quorum sensing (QS) and quorum quenching (QQ) control greenhouse gas emissions ...
