Pathogenic bacteria use this system—so-called quorum sensing—to signal the start of the infection once they have reached a specific density. Several species-specific pathways leading to the ...

Known as "quorum sensing," this method uses signal molecules that are produced by bacteria and released into their surroundings. At the same time, the bacteria monitor the concentration of these ...

Targeting virulence factors such as quorum sensing (QS), the system responsible for group behaviours in bacteria, is a strategy that reduces the selective pressure on the bacteria to survive and thus ...

Prof. Taylor’s research areas of interest include chemical biology, biochemistry, and antimicrobial drug discovery targeting the mechanisms of bacterial cell-to-cell communication, called quorum ...

Sukreem’s research focused on understanding and inhibiting biofilm formation as well as by interfering with bacterial communication (quorum sensing) as strategies to inhibit bacterial pathogenicity.

The postharvest management of fresh produce is a critical area of research due to their perishable nature and the impact of ...

We investigate 1. The role of quorum sensing regulators in the osmotic stress tolerance response 2. The role of the organosulfur compound dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in Vibrio fitness and ...
