Abstract excerpt
The persistence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in environmental reservoirs, even in the absence of direct antibiotic selection pressure, represents a critical challenge for global health. However, the mechanisms that prevent the unlimited expansion of environmental AMR remain poorly understood. In this study, we explore how quorum sensing (QS) plays a central role in constraining AMR under antibiotic-free...
