Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication process between cells, in which bacteria secrete
and sense the specific chemicals, and regulate gene expression in response to population …

The expression of certain bacterial genes is regulated in a cell-density dependent way, a
phenomenon called quorum sensing. Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria use …

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is widely prevalent and causes Bacterial Leaf Blight
(BLB) in Basmati rice grown in different areas of Pakistan. There is a need to use …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major cause of nosocomial infections and also leads to
severe exacerbations in cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Three …

Synthetic biology designed cell-free biosensors are a promising new tool for the detection of
clinically relevant biomarkers in infectious diseases. Here, we report that a modular DNA …

Globally, cyanobacterial blooms have become serious problems in eutrophic water. Most
previous studies have focused on environmental factors but have neglected the role of …

The pqs quorum sensing (QS) system is crucial for Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence both
in vitro and in animal models of infection and is considered an ideal target for the …

Cell-to-cell signaling via small molecules is an essential process to coordinate behavior in
single species within a community, and also across kingdoms. In this review, we discuss the …

Abstract N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)-based quorum sensing (QS) is important for the
regulation of proteobacterial virulence determinants. Thus, the inhibition of AHL synthases …

The long-term use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. A
promising strategy to combat bacterial infections aims at hampering their adaptability to the …
