Quorum Sensing in ESKAPE Bugs: A Target for Combating Antimicrobial Resistance and Bacterial Virulence
6 Oct 2022
Abstract excerpt
A clique of Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. (ESKAPE) bugs is the utmost causative agent responsible for multidrug resistance in hospital settings. These microorganisms employ a type of cell–cell communication termed ‘quorum sensing (QS) system’ to mediate population density and synchronously control the...
