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 …

Bacteria use quorum sensing to orchestrate gene expression programmes that underlie
collective behaviours. Quorum sensing relies on the production, release, detection and …

Abstract Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is a quorum sensing signal that mediates communication
within and between many bacterial species. However, its known receptors (LuxP and LsrB …

The mammalian gut microbiota harbors a diverse ecosystem where hundreds of bacterial
species interact with each other and their host. Given that bacteria use signals to …

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 …

Quorum-sensing (QS) system is a rapidly developing field in which we are gradually
expanding our understanding about how bacteria communicate with each other and …

Quorum sensing is a cell-cell communication process in which bacteria use the production
and detection of extracellular chemicals called autoinducers to monitor cell population …

Numerous species of bacteria employ a mechanism of intercellular communication known
as quorum sensing. This signaling process allows the cells comprising a bacterial colony to …

Streptococci readily colonize mucosal tissues in the nasopharynx; the respiratory,
gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts; and the skin. Each ecological niche presents a …

Bacteria communicate through the production of diffusible signal molecules termed
autoinducers. The molecules are produced at basal levels and accumulate during growth …
