Quorum sensing is a process of bacterial cell-to-cell chemical communication that relies on
the production, detection and response to extracellular signalling molecules called …

This Review highlights how we can build upon the relatively new and rapidly developing
field of research into bacterial quorum sensing (QS). We now have a depth of knowledge …

The development of novel therapies to control diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant
pathogens is one of the major challenges we are currently facing. Many important plant …

Bacterial culture was the first method used to describe the human microbiota, but this
method is considered outdated by many researchers. Metagenomics studies have since …

Cell-cell communication, or quorum sensing, is a widespread phenomenon in bacteria that
is used to coordinate gene expression among local populations. Its use by bacterial …

The bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa activates expression of many virulence
genes in a cell density-dependent manner by using an intricate quorum-sensing (QS) …

Antivirulence drugs are a new type of therapeutic drug that target virulence factors,
potentially revitalising the drug-development pipeline with new targets. As antivirulence …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread process in bacteria that employs autoinducing
chemical signals to coordinate diverse, often cooperative activities such as …

Chronic infection with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa often leads to
coexistence of heterogeneous populations carrying diverse mutations. In particular, loss-of …

Quorum sensing (QS), a microbial cell-to-cell communication process, dynamically regulates
a variety of metabolism and physiological activities. In this review, we provide an update on …
