Accumulating evidence suggests that the response of bacteria to antibiotics is significantly
affected by the presence of other interacting microbes. These interactions are not typically …

Quorum sensing is a cell-to-cell communication system that exists widely in the microbiome
and is related to cell density. The high-density colony population can generate a sufficient …

Many bacteria use a cell-cell communication system called quorum sensing to coordinate
population density-dependent changes in behavior. Quorum sensing involves production of …

Microbial community in natural or artificial environments playes critical roles in substance
cycles, products synthesis and species evolution. Although microbial community structures …

With the overuse of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) prevalence is gradually
