Article Synopsis
- - The Bacillus cereus group produces a variety of antimicrobial compounds that help protect plants from pathogens and pests, while enhancing growth and stress tolerance.
- - These bacteria also play a crucial role in bioremediation, breaking down harmful environmental pollutants and producing beneficial enzymes, yet they can cause food poisoning due to enterotoxin production.
- - Overall, B. cereus has diverse applications in agriculture, industry, and medicine, including the development of eco-friendly materials and potential health benefits like cancer prevention through selenium nanoparticle production.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of garlic metabolites on the quorum sensing (QS) of , a foodborne pathogen that controls its main virulence factor through QS. The QS signal receptor PlcR of was targeted by molecular docking with 82 garlic metabolites to identify the most potent QS inhibitors. Five metabolites, quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, flavone, and rutin, were selected for further evaluation of their impacts on the growth, toxin production, and virulence of .
