Abstract:Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem, leading to ineffective antibiotic treatments, causing bacterial infections to be lethal again. Therefore, new alternatives are needed to fight bacterial infections. Targeting bacterial quorum sensing, might be a promising approach.
Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterial communication system via which bacteria regulate their gene expression based on cell density. In other words, when there are a lot of bacteria, different genes are activated that are beneficial for colla… Show more
