Quorum sensing is a system of stimuli and responses in relation to bacterial cell population
density that regulates gene expression, including virulence determinants. Consequently, …

In a polymicrobial community, while some bacteria are communicating with neighboring
cells (quorum sensing), others are interrupting the communication (quorum quenching), thus …

The incomplete identification of structural variants (SVs) from whole-genome sequencing
data limits studies of human genetic diversity and disease association. Here, we apply a suite …

In late 1998, Nipah virus emerged in peninsular Malaysia and caused fatal disease in domestic
pigs and humans and substantial economic loss to the local pig industry. Surveillance of …

Background Cell-to-cell communication (quorum sensing (QS)) co-ordinates bacterial behaviour
at a population level. Consequently the behaviour of a natural multi-species community …

In members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, ampC, which encodes a β-lactamase, is
regulated by an upstream, divergently transcribed gene, ampR. However, in Pseudomonas …

A methanol-soluble extract of the bark of Myristica cinnamomea was found to exhibit anti-quorum
sensing activity, and subsequent bioassay-guided isolation led to the identification of …

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was used to compare and analyze 158 isolates of
Salmonella typhi from five well-defined outbreaks of typhoid fever in Malaysia and also …

A novel chemically defined medium, named KG medium, supplemented with N-3-oxo-hexanoylhomoserine
lactone (3-oxo-C6-HSL), an acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) used as …

Bacteria communicate by producing quorum sensing molecules called autoinducers, which
include autoinducer-1, an N-hexanoyl homoserine lactone (AHL), and autoinducer-2. …
