Inhibition of N-acyl-homoserine lactone quorum sensing

Quorum-sensing amongst Gram-negative bacteria is an important method of intercellular communication required for conveying information about population density. The extracellular accumulation of the signal molecule involved, N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL), leading to increases in internal physiolog...
