A number of bacteria, and some plants, produce large quantities of indole, which is
widespread in animal intestinal tracts and in the rhizosphere. Indole, as an interspecies and …

In a complex, diverse intestinal environment, commensal microbiota metabolizes excessive
dietary tryptophan to produce more bioactive metabolites connecting with kinds of diverse …

Acinetobacter occupies an important position in nature because of its ubiquitous presence in
diverse environments such as soils, fresh water, oceans, sediments, and contaminated sites …

Indole is an organic compound that is widespread in microbial communities inhabiting
diverse habitats, like the soil environment and human intestines. Measurement of indole …

Most bacterial cells lead lives of quiet desperation in biofilms, combatting stress; yet, their
prevalence attests to their ability to alter gene regulation to cope with myriad insults. Since …

Many chronic infections involve bacterial biofilms, which are difficult to eliminate using
conventional antibiotic treatments. Biofilm formation is a result of dynamic intra-or inter …

Persister cells survive antibiotic treatment due to their lack of metabolism, rather than
through genetic change, as shown via four seminal experiments conducted by the …

The rhizosphere hosts a considerable microbial community. Among that community, bacteria
called plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can promote plant growth and defense …

Indole and its derivatives have been shown to interfere with the quorum sensing (QS)
systems of a wide range of bacterial pathogens. While indole has been previously shown to …

Owing to the failure of conventional antibiotics in biofilm control, alternative approaches are
urgently needed. Inhibition of quorum sensing (QS) represents an attractive target since it is …
