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 …

Urolithins are dibenzo [b, d] pyran‐6‐one derivatives that are produced by the human gut
microbiota from ellagitannins and ellagic acid (EA). These metabolites are much better …

Foods rich in ellagic tannins are first hydrolyzed into ellagic acid in the stomach and small
intestine, and then converted into urolithins with high bioavailability by the intestinal flora …

The health benefits attributed to pomegranate have been associated with its high content in
polyphenols, particularly ellagitannins. This is also the case for other ellagitannin‐containing …

Biofilms are matrix‐enclosed microbial aggregates that adhere to a biological or
nonbiological surface. Biofilm formation is a significant problem in the medical, food, and …

Traditional treatment of infectious diseases is based on compounds that aim to kill or inhibit
bacterial growth. The bacterial resistance against antibiotics is a serious issue for public …

Most infectious diseases are caused by bacteria, which proliferate within quorum sensing
(QS)-mediated biofilms. Efforts to block QS in bacteria and disrupt biofilms have enabled the …

Numerous gram-negative phytopathogenic and zoopathogenic bacteria utilise acylated
homoserine lactone (AHL) in communication systems, referred to as quorum sensing (QS) …

Membrane biofouling is widely acknowledged as the most frequent adverse event in
wastewater treatment systems resulting in significant loss of treatment efficiency and …

The continuing emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is a concern to human health
