Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication process used by bacteria to coordinate their behavior based on population density. This mechanism plays a crucial role in the formation of biofilms ...

So far, I have developed and studied models for biofilms, quorum sensing, t6ss killing, and characterizations to determine the success of bacterial genotypes in ecological processes, within-host ...

(Hiltunen et al., 2016) We are also interested in different approaches to fight biofilms. Quorum sensing is the communication system of microorganisms that allows them to adopt community-based ...

Bacterial communities build biofilms to protect themselves from external threats, such as antibiotics. But researchers are now taking aim at these bacterial shields. “Biofilms can be good ...

Researchers have identified many species of bacteria that interrelate gene regulation with their neighbors to control a variety of processes, including symbiosis, virulence, antibiotic resistance, and ...

Biofilms are not only a medical concern but also a costly problem in industrial settings. They contribute to clogged pipelines, corroded machinery, and contamination in food processing facilities.

Bacteria detect when nearby cells are dying and proactively form a protective biofilm. Understanding how bacteria communicate and respond to threats is crucial for combating infections.
