Pseudomonas aeruginosa is notorious for its role in food spoilage and infections, posing a significant threat to both food safety and human health. Traditionally, antimicrobial agents have been the go ...

What Is Quorum Sensing? Individual bacteria use quorum sensing to detect and respond to changes in cell density as a coordinated group. For example, the first reported evidence of quorum sensing was ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- University at Buffalo scientists have discovered a promising new drug lead that works by inhibiting the sophisticated bacterial communication system called quorum sensing. The new ...

Quorum sensing is described as a widespread cell density-dependent signaling mechanism in bacteria. Groups of cells coordinate gene expression by secreting and responding to diffusible signal ...

Bacteria grow on surfaces in complex immobile communities known as biofilms, which are composed of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. Within biofilms, bacteria often interact with members of ...
