Quorum Sensing (QS) is a bacterial cell-to-cell communication mechanism allowing to share information about cell density, to adjust gene expression accordingly. Pathogens leverage QS to coordinate ...

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

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 ...

Scientists used patterned plastic surfaces to trick bacteria into halting their own spread. These designs may prevent ...

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.

To coordinate their behavior and virulence and to synchronize attacks against their hosts, bacteria communicate by continuously producing signaling molecules (called autoinducers) and continuously ...

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 ...

This understudied emerging pathogen appears to possess a comABCDE quorum sensing (QS) circuitry, which is common in many streptococci species; however, the molecular interactions that drive this ...

The antibiofilm activity of Ga-BACDs may be attributed to multiple mechanisms, including direct particle–bacteria interactions that hinder bacterial adherence, interference with quorum sensing, and/or ...

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 ...
