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 …

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 …

Biofilms are microbial sessile communities characterized by cells that are attached to a
substratum or interface or to each other, are embedded in a self-produced matrix of …

Biofilms are microbial communities characterized by their adhesion to solid surfaces and the
production of a matrix of exopolymeric substances, consisting of polysaccharides, proteins …

Success in nature depends upon an ability to perceive and adapt to the surrounding
environment. Bacteria are not an exception; they recognize and constantly adjust to …

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 …

Numerous species of bacteria employ a mechanism of intercellular communication known
as quorum sensing. This signaling process allows the cells comprising a bacterial colony to …

Biofilms are complex microbial architectures that attach to surfaces and encase
microorganisms in a matrix composed of self-produced hydrated extracellular polymeric …

Emergence of antibiotic and multi-drug resistant pathogenic bacteria has created the need
for new drugs and drug targets. During pathogenesis bacteria release signals which …

Bacteria can regulate community‐wide behaviors including biofilm formation, virulence,
conjugation, sporulation, and swarming motility through a process called quorum sensing …
