Abstract: This study investigated the effect of patulin and penicillic acid, two known quorum-sensing inhibitors, and the common biocide ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on the biofilm formation and auto-inducer (AI)-2 production of three isolates from dental unit water lines, Klebsiella sp., Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus. Penicillic acid on its own had no effect on the biofilm formation of all isolates, whereas in combination with EDTA, it enhanced biofilm formation significantly in Klebsiella sp. and B. … Show more

“…Different microcolonies grow within the matrix, thus coaggregation of different microbes with each other and matrix increase the depth of the biofilms. Once bacteria adhered irreversibly, they increase their density enormously compared to the planktonic bacteria and it is at this stage that they secrete certain autoinducer signal molecule (16). The risk of acquiring infections through DUWL supplies are known to be not very uncommon.…”

“…But 21 st century emerges as a post-antibiotic era, highlighting the importance of novel strategies to control bacterial diseases. One of the novel strategies in use is to target the quorum sensing (QS) system of bacteria (16). Quorum sensing (QS) is not only important for intraspecies survival and differentiation in bacterial communities, but also relates interspecies information between symbionts and competitors (16).…”
