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 …

As a complex microbial aggregate, biofilm is a group behavior of bacterial ability to adapt to
the environment. Bacteria produce biofilm substrates that enhance their tolerance to stress …

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 …

Growth of oral bacteria in situ requires adhesion to a surface because the constant flow of
host secretions thwarts the ability of planktonic cells to grow before they are swallowed …

Success in nature depends upon an ability to perceive and adapt to the surrounding
environment. Bacteria are not an exception; they recognize and constantly adjust to …

Bacteria communicate and coordinate their behaviour at the intra-and interspecies levels by
producing and sensing diverse extracellular small molecules called autoinducers …

Bacteria have their own form of “twitter” communication, described as quorum sensing (QS),
where bacteria emit and sense chemical signal molecules as a means to gauge population …

The quorum-sensing (QS) system is an intercellular cell-cell communication mechanism that
controls the expression of genes involved in a variety of cellular processes and that plays …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli are the most prevalent Gram-negative
biofilm forming medical device associated pathogens, particularly with respect to catheter …

Many bacteria use cell–cell communication mediated by diffusible signal molecules to
monitor their population density or confinement to niches and to modulate their behaviour in …
