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 …

Quorum sensing is a cell density-dependent signaling phenomenon used by bacteria for
coordination of population-wide phenotypes, such as expression of virulence genes …

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

Bacterial resistance poses a major challenge to the development of new antimicrobial
agents. Conventional antibiotics have an inherent obsolescence because they select for …

Quorum sensing in prokaryotic biology refers to the ability of a bacterium to sense
information from other cells in the population when they reach a critical concentration (ie a …

A biofilm is an assemblage of microbial cells attached to a surface and encapsulated in an
extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix. The formation of a biofilm is one of the …

The emergence of bacterial strains exhibiting resistance to multiple antibiotic classes poses
a major threat to medicine and public health. This has been compounded over the last few …

Quorum sensing is widely recognized as an efficient mechanism to regulate expression of
specific genes responsible for communal behavior in bacteria. Several bacterial phenotypes …

Bacteria have the remarkable ability to communicate as a group in what has become known
as quorum sensing (QS), and this trait has been associated with important bacterial …

Cell communication in bacteria occurs through a vernacular of small diffusible chemical
signals that impact gene regulation during times of high cell density. This form of intercellular …
