Quorum sensing (QS) regulates diverse and coordinated behaviors in bacteria, including the
production of virulence factors, biofilm formation, sporulation, and competence development …

All bacterial quorum sensing (QS) systems are based on the production, secretion, and
detection of small signaling molecules. Gram-positive bacteria typically use small peptides …

ABSTRACT The Rgg2/3 quorum sensing (QS) system is conserved among all sequenced
isolates of group A Streptococcus (GAS; Streptococcus pyogenes). The molecular …

Recent studies have established the fact that multiple members of the Rgg family of
transcriptional regulators serve as key components of quorum sensing (QS) pathways that …

Bacteria coordinate a variety of social behaviors, important for both environmental and
pathogenic bacteria, through a process of intercellular chemical signaling known as quorum …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread phenomenon in the microbial world that has
important implications in the coordination of population-wide responses in several bacterial …

Streptococcus zooepidemicus is an important opportunistic pathogen of several species
including humans. This organism is also well-known as the main producing strain in …

We described a quorum-sensing mechanism in the streptococci genus involving a short
hydrophobic peptide (SHP), which acts as a pheromone, and a transcriptional regulator …

Some bacterial pathogens utilize cell-cell communication systems, such as quorum sensing
(QS), to coordinate genetic programs during host colonization and infection. The human …

Regulator gene of glucosyltransferase (Rgg) family proteins, such as Rgg2 and Rgg3, have
emerged as primary quorum-sensing regulated transcription factors in Streptococcus …
