Abstract excerpt
Quorum sensing (QS) is a signal mediated cell-cell communication system that couples bacterial cell density to a synchronized gene expression (Fuqua et al., 1994). Mostly, in Gram negative bacteria QS signals are N-acylhomoserine lactones (NAHLs) that coordinate important functions such as virulence and pathogenicity. QS signals or the elements involved in their production or perception could be targeted to...
