A new class of quorum quenching molecules from Staphylococcus species affects communication and growth of gram-negative bacteria.

A new class of quorum quenching molecules from Staphylococcus species affects communication and growth of gram-negative bacteria.

The knowledge that many pathogens rely on cell-to-cell communication mechanisms known as quorum sensing, opens a new disease control strategy: quorum quenching. Here we report on one of the rare examples where Gram-positive bacteria, the 'Staphylococcus intermedius group' of zoonotic patho...
