Attenuation of quorum sensing using computationally designed polymers

It is generally accepted that the majority of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria communicate via production and sensing of small signal molecules, autoinducers. The ability of bacteria to sense their population density is termed quorum sensing (QS). Quorum sensing controls certain phenotypic t...
