Implant-associated infections mediated by biofilms have become a major concern in the healthcare sector. As biofilm formation by this important pathogen is mediated by quorum sensing, quorum sensing inhibitors (QSI) have gained much attention. The present study confirms that novel thiazolinyl-picolinamide based palladium(II) complexes had good biofilm disruptive and QSI properties against . Key QS-mediated virulence factors like pili mediated surface motility and polysaccharide production were inhibited by the best Pd(II) complex (E). This also showed potent inhibitory activity against both the standard and clinical strains of Molecular docking analysis also proved the potent binding affinity of Pd(II)-E with the virulence targets. The Pd(II) complex also disrupted preformed biofilms and down-regulated the expression of QS mediated virulence genes in the biofilms established on implant material (titanium plates). As a whole, the present study showed that the novel thiazolinyl-picolinamide based Pd(II) complexes offer a promising anti-infective strategy to combat biofilm-mediated implant infections.

is a pathogenic bacterium that can infect humans and animals, yet the role of its outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in mediating pathogenicity remains underexplored. This study evaluated the effects of linoleic acid (LA) and stearic acid (SA) on quorum sensing (QS)-mediated violacein production, biofilm formation, and OMV biogenesis in . Our findings revealed that 2 mM LA and 1 mM SA effectively quench QS, leading to a significant reduction in violacein production, biofilm formation, and OMV biogenesis.

Understanding communication among microorganisms through the array of signal molecules and establishing controlled signal transfer between different species is a major goal of the future of biotechnology, and controlled multispecies bioreactor cultivations will open a wide range of applications. In this study, we used two quorum-sensing peptides from - namely, the competence and sporulation factor (CSF) and (PhrF)-to establish a controlled interkingdom communication system between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. For this purpose, we engineered as a reporter capable of detecting the CSF and PhrF peptides heterologously produced by the yeast .

Quorum sensing (QS) also known as bacterial cell-cell communication or bacterial crosstalk is a phenomenon regulating various bacterial traits that can affect plant growth and defence. Similarities in the structure of root exudates and bacterial signalling molecules have tremendous implications governing the plant heath. The rhizosphere ecosystem being an excellent example of plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions harbours a variety of microorganisms exhibiting quorum sensing.

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) represents an energy-efficient process for the removal of biological nitrogen from ammonium-rich wastewater. However, the susceptibility of anammox bacteria to coexisting heavy metals considerably restricts their use in engineering practices. Here, we report that acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL), a signaling molecule that mediates quorum sensing (QS), significantly enhances the nitrogen removal rate by 24% under Cu stress.

Stubborn biofilm infections pose serious threats to public health. Clinical practices highly rely on mechanical debridement and antibiotics, which often fail and lead to persistent and recurrent infections. The main culprits are 1) persistent bacteria reviving, colonizing, and rejuvenating biofilms, and 2) secondary pathogen exposure, particularly in individuals with chronic diseases.
