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 ...

Scientists used patterned plastic surfaces to trick bacteria into halting their own spread. These designs may prevent infections without the need for antimicrobial drugs. Scientists at the University ...

Targeting bacterial quorum sensing (QS), a communication system that regulates virulence and biofilm formation, has emerged as a promising anti-virulence approach. Actinobacteria, renowned for their ...

Although, few quorum sensing inhibitors for instance azithromycin have found to inhibit the growth, many others possess a moderate or quite little effect on growth rate. The quorum quenching enzymes ...

Biofilm biomass (OD630) differed significantly by genus and condition (two‑way ANOVA, p rpoS, but gene presence alone did not predict biofilm intensity. Conclusions: Gram‑negative biofilm‑forming ...

Bacteria control the adapting ability of communities through a common mechanism, namely the quorum sensing system (QSS), which regulates a number of specific functions, such as virulence, symbiosis, ...

The RhlR quorum-sensing receptor controls pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogenesis and biofilm development independently of its canonical homoserine lactone autoinducer.

Quorum sensing is an intercellular signaling mechanism that significantly contributes to biofilm formation and maturation, and virulence gene activation. 7 Quorum sensing enables bacterial cells in ...

Microbubble-driven nanoparticles deliver gene suppressors to break down MRSA biofilms by The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) ...

Experts warn of a backlog of cases as the Federal Election Commission faces a fourth vacancy and loss of quorum, impacting its ability to enforce campaign finance laws.

Plants grow from something unexpected—carbon drawn in through tiny pores called stomata. At Stanford, researchers are studying how these structures form to understand plant growth.
