Quorum sensing crosstalk and dynamics in polymicrobial biofilms: implications for pathogenesis and emerging therapeutic strategies.
Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication system that regulates bacterial behavior, including biofilm formation, virulence, and antibiotic resistance. While QS has been extensively studied in single-species biofilms, emerging evidence highlights the complexity of QS crosstalk in polymicrobial biofilms, where...
