Biofilm is a natural form of bacterial growth ubiquitously in environmental niches. The biofilm
formation results in increased resistance to negative environmental influences including …

The majority of current infectious diseases are almost untreatable by conventional antibiotic
therapy given the advent of multidrug-resistant bacteria. The degree of severity and the …

Quorum sensing (QS), the communication signaling network, regulates biofilm formation and
several virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, a nosocomial opportunistic …

Ethnopharmacological relevance Piper betle, a tropical creeper plant belongs to the family
Piperaceae. The leaves of this plant have been well known for their therapeutic, religious …

Introduction: Biofilm formation is a strategy for microorganisms to adapt and survive in
hostile environments. Microorganisms that are able to produce biofilms are currently …

Quorum sensing (QS) is the cell density dependent communication network which
coordinates the production of pathogenic determinants in majority of pathogenic bacteria …

The emergence of multi-drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria in clinical settings as well as
food-borne infections has become a serious health concern. The problem of drug resistance …

The present study describes the anti-biofilm and quorum sensing (QS) inhibitory potential of
extracts and chemical constituents from Piper bogotense. Antibiofilm potential was …

Quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) are a class of compounds that can reduce the
pathogenicity of bacteria without affecting bacterial growth. In this study, we designed and …

Biofouling is a severe problem in membrane systems which hampers their broad
applications because it requires regular chemical cleaning, reduces membrane life, and …
