Quorum sensing in oral multispecies biofilms: from interkingdom communication to therapeutic targeting
Oral biofilms are polymicrobial ecosystems where quorum sensing (QS) governs community assembly, virulence and homeostasis. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on QS pathways in key periodontal and cariogenic pathogens, emphasizing interspecies synergy, cross-kingdom interactions, and disease progression. We sur...
