This Review highlights how we can build upon the relatively new and rapidly developing
field of research into bacterial quorum sensing (QS). We now have a depth of knowledge …

Bacteria often live within matrix-embedded communities, termed biofilms, which are now
understood to be a major mode of microbial life. The study of biofilms has revealed their vast …

Bacteria are highly interactive and possess an extraordinary repertoire of intercellular
communication and social behaviors, including quorum sensing (QS). QS has been studied …

Biofilm-associated infections pose a complex problem to the medical community, in that
residence within the protection of a biofilm affords pathogens greatly increased tolerances to …

Antivirulence drugs are a new type of therapeutic drug that target virulence factors,
potentially revitalising the drug-development pipeline with new targets. As antivirulence …

Biofilms are aggregate of microorganisms in which cells are frequently embedded within a
self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) and adhere to each other …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread process in bacteria that employs autoinducing
chemical signals to coordinate diverse, often cooperative activities such as …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses a hierarchical quorum sensing (QS) network consisting of
las, pqs and rhl regulatory elements to coordinate the expression of bacterial virulence …

Chronic infection with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa often leads to
coexistence of heterogeneous populations carrying diverse mutations. In particular, loss-of …
