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

Interference with quorum sensing (QS) represents an antivirulence strategy with significant
promise for the treatment of bacterial infections and a new approach for restoring antibiotic …

In the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, many virulence traits are finely
regulated by quorum sensing (QS), an intercellular communication system that allows the …

Bacterial cooperation can be disrupted by non-producers that can profit from public goods
without paying their production cost. A cheater can increase in frequency, exhausting the …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic human pathogen, causes fatal effects in
patients with cystic fibrosis and immunocompromised individuals and leads to around 1000 …

Quorum sensing is described as a widespread cell density-dependent signaling mechanism
in bacteria. Groups of cells coordinate gene expression by secreting and responding to …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses two acyl-homoserine lactone signals and two quorum
sensing (QS) transcription factors, LasR and RhlR, to activate dozens of genes. LasR …

In its canonical interpretation, quorum sensing (QS) allows single cells in a bacterial
population to synchronize gene expression and hence perform specific tasks collectively …
