Marine microplastic pollution is a growing problem for ecotoxicology that needs to be
resolved. In particular, microplastics may be carriers of “dangerous hitchhikers,” pathogenic …

Quorum sensing is a process of cell–cell communication that allows bacteria to share
information about cell density and adjust gene expression accordingly. This process …

Excessive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections has lead to the
emergence of multiple drug resistant strains. Most infectious diseases are caused by …

Lung infection is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis and
is mainly dominated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The biofilm mode of growth makes …

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 …

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 …

Chemical communication is a phenomenon exhibited by many different organisms and
nowadays is one of the most prominent research areas at the chemistry-microbiology …

Bacteria in natural, industrial and clinical settings predominantly live in biofilms, ie, sessile
structured microbial communities encased in self‐produced extracellular matrix material …

Many species of proteobacteria communicate with kin and coordinate group behaviors
through a form of cell-cell signaling called acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum sensing …

Chemical coordination of gene expression among bacteria as a function of population
density is regulated by a mechanism known as 'quorum sensing'(QS). QS in Pseudomonas …
