By interfering with bacterial quorum sensing, for instance, enzymatic degradation of signalling molecules (quorum ... all of which must be overcome to establish infection (Buffie and Pamer, 2013). In ...

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, ...

Abstract: The regulation of density‐dependent behaviour by means of quorum sensing is widespread in bacteria, the relevant phenomena including bioluminescence and population expansion by swarming, as ...

Abstract: There is a growing body of theoretical and experimental evidence that in addition to the biochemical signaling using auto-inducers and ion channels, biological cells and more specifically ...

Pathogenic bacteria use this system—so-called quorum sensing—to signal the start of the infection once they have reached a specific density. Several species-specific pathways leading to the ...

with suggestions that in most bacteria AI-2 is simply a metabolic side product, which casts doubts on its suitability as a target in the context of quorum sensing inhibition. 14,16 AHL-dependent ...

plantarum were investigated. Co-fermentation of S. cerevisiae and L. plantarum was found to reduce L. plantarum to secrete AI-2. Three AI-2 quorum sensing inhibitors (DMHF ...

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 ... it is ...
