Quorum sensing or cell to cell communication is a key phenomenon responsible for plethora of activities and responses in both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. This book covers evolution of quorum sensing mechanism in bacteria and evaluate the potential application of quorum sensing inhibitors in the clinical and industrial settings.

The book on Trends in Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching: New Perspectives and Applications focuses on the recent advances in the field of quorum sensing in bacteria and the novel strategies developed for quorum sensing inhibition. The topics covered are multidisciplinary and wide-ranging,and includes quorum sensing phenomenon in pathogenic bacteria, food spoilers, and agriculturally relevant bacteria. The applications of quorum sensing inhibitors such as small molecules, bioactives, natural compounds, and quorum quenching enzymes in controlling bacterial infections in clinical settings, agriculture and aquaculture are discussed. The potential use of quorum quenching enzymes for mitigating biofouling is also covered. Special focus is given to exploring quorum sensing inhibitors from microbes and flora inhabiting biodiversity rich regions including tropical rain forests and marine environments.

Key features:

  • Covers the fundamental aspects, the progress and challenges in the field of quorum sensing and quorum quenching
  • Reviews quorum sensing in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria of clinical, agricultural, and industrial relevance
  • Discusses the application and future trends of quorum sensing inhibitors from lab to clinical and environmental settings
    • Provides comprehensive coverage on molecular mechanisms in bacterial signaling
