Disrupting the chemical messages that oral bacteria use to coordinate growth may help prevent disease by keeping plaque ...

By hacking bacterial languages, an interdisciplinary research team explores the potential for new treatments and a deeper ...

Like all living things, bacteria adapt to survive. Over time, bacteria have been developing resistance to common antibiotics and disinfectants, which poses a growing problem for health care and ...

Quorum sensing is a chemical communication process that bacteria use to regulate collective behaviors. Disabling quorum-sensing circuits with small molecules has been proposed as a potential strategy ...

Microbes communicate with quorum sensing to coordinate their behavior in response to how many neighbors they have. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses the quorum sensing (QS) system to regulate virulence factors expression and biofilm development. Researchers from Jinan University reported on novel inhibitors of P.

The bacteria that cause the life-threatening disease cholera may initiate infection by coordinating a wave of mass shapeshifting that allows them to more effectively penetrate the intestines of their ...

Pig Progress reports on the latest business news and updates from the global pig industry, including the launch of the Zinpro ...

Quorum sensing in hair population regeneration is shown. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert! by contributing institutions or ...

Caption: Compared to a typical, or wild-type (WT) colony (left), P. aeruginosa cells lacking RhlR form a much more wrinkled biofilm (middle), while cells lacking RhlI form a biofilm that is abnormally ...
