Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterial communication process that depends on the bacterial
population density. It involves small diffusible signaling molecules which activate the …

Abstract Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is a major signal molecule in bacterial quorum sensing (QS)
besides N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs or AI-1). AI-2 mediated QS pathways have been …

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 …

Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen and an emerging zoonotic bacterial threat in the food
industry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biofilm formation by a cocktail culture of 3 …

The quorum sensing (QS) system is related to cell-to-cell communication as a function of
population density, which regulates several physiological functions including biofilm …

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the leading foodborne pathogens causing seafood
contamination. Here, 22 V. parahaemolyticus strains were analyzed for biofilm formation to …

Bacterial communication plays an important role in coordinating microbial behaviors in a
community. However, how bacterial communication organizes the entire community for …

The microbiome and the phage meta-genome within the human gut are influenced by
antibiotic treatments. Identifying a novel mechanism, here we demonstrate that bacteria use …

Biotin (vitamin B7) is involved in a wide range of essential biochemical reactions and a
crucial micronutrient that is vital for many pro-and eukaryotic organisms. The few biotin …

Escherichia coli can survive improper disinfection processes, which is a potential source of
contamination of food products. Benzalkonium chloride (BC) is a common disinfectant …
