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 …

Natural products have served as powerful therapeutics against pathogenic bacteria since
the golden age of antibiotics of the mid-20th century. However, the increasing frequency of …

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 …

Numerous bacteria utilize molecular communication systems referred to as quorum sensing
(QS) to synchronize the expression of certain genes regulating, among other aspects, the …

Antimicrobial resistance constitutes one of the major challenges facing humanity in the
Twenty-First century. The spread of resistant pathogens has been such that the possibility of …

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 …

Synthetic biology is an emerging research field that focuses on using rational engineering
strategies to program biological systems, conferring on them new functions and behaviours …

New antibacterials need new approaches to overcome the problem of rapid antibiotic
resistance. Here we review the development of potential new antibacterial drugs that do not …

In a polymicrobial community, while some bacteria are communicating with neighboring
cells (quorum sensing), others are interrupting the communication (quorum quenching), thus …

Almost a century on from the discovery of penicillin, the war against bacterial infection still
rages compounded by the emergence of strains resistant to virtually every clinically …
