Identification and Characterization of Quorum-Quenching Activity of <i>N</i>-Acylhomoserine Lactonase from Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci

Identification and Characterization of Quorum-Quenching Activity of <i>N</i>-Acylhomoserine Lactonase from Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci

<i>N</i>-Acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) are used as quorum-sensing signals in Gram-negative bacteria. Many genes encoding AHL-degrading enzymes have been cloned and characterized in various microorganisms. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are present on the skin of animals and are...
