Naturally Occurring 2-Methoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone Attenuates Biofilm Formation and Quorum Sensing-Regulated Virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa employs quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate biofilm formation and virulence factor expression, positioning QS as a promising target for anti-infective interventions. This study evaluated the antibiofilm and antivirulence efficacy of 2-methoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (MNQ), a natural naphthoquinone, agai...

Pomegranate Peel Extracts Suppress the lasI/lasR and rhlI/rhlR Quorum Sensing Systems, eta Gene Expression, Virulence, and Biofilm Formation in Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa has reduced the effectiveness of conventional antibiotics and necessitated the development of alternative therapeutic approaches. Quorum sensing (QS), a bacterial cell-to-cell communication system that regulates virulence factor productio...

Quorum Sensing: Biochemical Mechanisms and Implications

Quorum sensing (QS) is a key component of microbial communication, which controls collective behaviours in response to cellular density. Microbial organisms are mainly able to coordinate a number of physiological functions, including sporulation, motility, biofilm formation, pathogenicity, antibiotic resistance, and th...
