Influence of polyphenols on bacterial biofilm formation and quorum-sensing.
Many bacteria utilize sophisticated regulatory systems to ensure that some functions are only expressed when a particular population density has been reached. The term 'quorum-sensing' has been coined to describe this form of density-dependent gene regulation which relies on the production and perception of small signal molecules by bacterial cells. As in many pathogenic bacteria the production...
متن کاملSmall molecule inhibitors of bacterial quorum sensing and biofilm formation.
Bacteria monitor their local population densities using small molecules (or autoinducers) in a process known as quorum sensing. Here, we report a new and efficient synthetic route to naturally occurring bacterial autoinducers [N-acyl l-homoserine lactones (AHLs)] that is readily amenable to the synthesis of analogues. This route has been applied in the first synthesis of a library of non-native...
متن کاملEffect of Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin on Quorum Sensing, Biofilm Formation and Bacterial Motilities of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
Statins have been widely studied as antibacterial compounds, but the mechanism of their bacterial inhibition is still not known. In the present investigation two statins, atorvastatin and rosuvastatin, were tested for their antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and both showed MIC of 625μg/ml. Both the statins shared structural similarity with quorum sensing signal molecule of G...

Title of Document: INHIBITORS OF AUTOINDUCER-2 QUORUM SENSING AND THEIR EFFECT ON BACTERIAL BIOFILM FORMATION Rebecca Melissa Lennen, Master of Science, 2007 Directed by: Dr. William Bentley, Professor Department of Bioengineering Bacteria utilize small signaling molecules, or autoinducers, to regulate their gene expression in tandem by a process termed quorum sensing. The gene encoding the syn...
متن کاملSubtilosin Prevents Biofilm Formation by Inhibiting Bacterial Quorum Sensing.
Subtilosin, the cyclic lantibiotic protein produced by Bacillus subtilis KATMIRA1933, targets the surface receptor and electrostatically binds to the bacterial cell membrane. In this study, subtilosin was purified using ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) precipitation and purified via column chromatography. Subtilosin's antibacterial minimum and sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC and sub-MIC)...
