Rövid leírás:

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.

Hosszú leírás:

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




"The text provides a broad yet thorough examination of quorum sensing and methods of defeating it, featuring many detailed and well-written discussions covering an exhaustive array of related topics. Early chapters examine the regulation of cellular responses controlled by quorum sensing, as well as the types of signaling molecules used by various bacteria. Next are chapters focused on the specifics of quorum sensing in detail, for different bacteria. These chapters both expand and reinforce concepts from earlier chapters. The remainder of the book addresses quorum sensing as an important component of the mechanisms of pathogenicity and biofilm formation in different contexts, from food science to environmental engineering; some chapters present strategies to block these processes by interfering with quorum sensing (e.g., through monoclonal antibodies treatment). The book can serve as an effective introduction for those beginning to explore this field and a useful reference for experts."
