<i>N</i> -acyl homoserine lactone signaling modulates bacterial community associated with human dental plaque
2024-03-15
Abstract excerpt
N -acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are small diffusible signaling molecules that mediate a cell density-dependent bacterial communication system known as quorum sensing (QS). AHL-mediated QS regulates gene expression to control many critical bacterial behaviors including biofilm formation, pathogenicity, and antimicrobial resistance. Dental plaque is a complex multispecies oral biofilm formed by successive coloniz...
