Abstract: Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterial cell density-based communication system using low molecular weight signals called autoinducers (AIs). Identification and quantification of these molecules could provide valuable information related to the stage of colonization or… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The cofactor-less dioxygenase AqdC of Mycobacteroides abscessus catalyzes the cleavage and thus inactivation of the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS, 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolone), which plays a central role in the regulation of virulence factor production by Pseudomonas… read more here.
