Interference of bacterial cell-to-cell communication: A new concept of antimicrobial chemotherapy breaks antibiotic
Bacteria use a cell-to-cell communication activity termed Quorum sensing to coordinate group behaviors in a cell-density dependent manner. Quorum sensing influences the expression profile of diverse genes, including antibiotic tolerance and virulence determinants, via specific chemical compounds cal...
