Heterologous Expression of the Marine-Derived Quorum Quenching Enzyme MomL Can Expand the Antibacterial Spectrum of Bacillus brevis
21 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Quorum sensing (QS) is closely associated with the production of multiple virulence factors in bacterial pathogens. N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are important QS signal molecules that modulate the virulence of gram-negative pathogenic bacteria. Enzymatic degradation of AHLs to interrupt QS, termed quorum quenching (QQ), has been considered a novel strategy for reduction of pathogenicity and prevention of...
