Abstract

Bacteria communicate via a process called quorum sensing, which in essence refers to bacterial genes regulation in a population density-dependent manner. To date, several strategies have been found to interrupt quorum sensing, ranging from perturbation of signal generation to receptor and signal molecules destruction and modification. In this book chapter, the recent advances in this very exciting and important field called quorum quenching are summarized.
