Inhibiting N-acyl-homoserine lactone synthesis and quenching Pseudomonas quinolone quorum sensing to attenuate virulence

Bacteria sense their own population size, tune the expression of responding genes and behave accordingly to environmental stimuli by secreting signalling molecules. This phenomenon is termed as quorum sensing (QS). By exogenously manipulating the signal transduction bacterial population behaviours c...
