The development of novel therapies to control diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant
pathogens is one of the major challenges we are currently facing. Many important plant …

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

Introduction The emergence of multi-and pan-drug-resistant bacteria represents a global
crisis that calls for the development of alternative anti-infective strategies. These comprise …

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 …

Traditional treatment of infectious diseases is based on compounds that aim to kill or inhibit
bacterial growth. A major concern with this approach is the frequently observed …

Both direct and long-range interactions between pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa
bacteria and their eukaryotic hosts are important in the outcome of infections. For cell-to-cell …

The discovery of antibiotics early in the past century marked the beginning of active control
and prevention of infectious microbial diseases. However, extensive use of antibiotics has …

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 …

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 …

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