Trends in Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching
«
"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."
