Article Synopsis
- * The presence of persistent free radicals (PFRs) in RS biochar contributes to the degradation of a signaling molecule (C4-HSL), which disrupts the communication (quorum sensing) among HBPs.
- * This research highlights the potential of biochar as a soil remediation technology to lower the risks posed by HBPs, emphasizing the importance of biochar's source in its effectiveness.
The coexistence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and virulence factor genes (VFGs) in human bacterial pathogens (HBPs) increases their risks to ecological security and human health and no effective strategy is available. Herein, we demonstrated two typical quorum sensing (QS) interfering agents, 4-nitropyridine-N-oxide (4-NPO, a QS inhibitor) and Acylase Ⅰ (a quorum quenching (QQ) enzyme), effectively decreased the abundance of HBPs by 48.30% and 72.
