Regulatory Mechanisms and Promising Applications of Quorum Sensing-Inhibiting Agents in Control of Bacterial Biofilm Formation
A biofilm is an assemblage of microbial cells attached to a surface and encapsulated in an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix. The formation of a biofilm is one of the important mechanisms of bacterial resistance, which not only leads to hard-to-control bacterial infections in humans and...
