Quorum sensing (QS) refers to the capacity of bacteria to monitor their population density
and regulate gene expression accordingly: the QS-regulated processes deal with …

Many bacteria swim in liquid or swarm over solid surfaces by synthesizing rotary flagella.
The same bacteria that are motile also commonly form nonmotile multicellular aggregates …

Maximizing the potential of plant–microbe systems offers great opportunities to confront
sustainability issues in agroecosystems. However, the dialog between root exudates and …

Pathogens that infect the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts are subjected to intense
pressure due to the environmental conditions of the surroundings. This pressure has led to …

For many years, bacterial cells were considered primarily as selfish individuals, but, in
recent years, it has become evident that, far from operating in isolation, they coordinate …

Acinetobacter baumannii causes several nosocomial infections and poses major threat
when it is multidrug resistant. Even pan drug‐resistant strains have been reported in some …

Covering: up to 2009 This review describes the chemistry of the bacterial biofilms including
the chemistry of their constituents and signalling compounds that mediate or inhibit the …

Communication between bacteria, belonging to the same species or to different species, is
mediated through different chemical signals that are synthesized and secreted by bacteria …

Background Cell-to-cell communication (quorum sensing (QS)) co-ordinates bacterial
behaviour at a population level. Consequently the behaviour of a natural multi-species …

Quorum sensing (QS), which is a key part of cell/cell communication, is widely distributed in
microorganisms, especially in bacteria. Bacteria can produce and detect the presence of QS …
