    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on quorum-sensing related to biofilms. Biofilms are complex bacterial communities that use quorum-sensing signals to protect them from potential threats. Biofilms adhere to surfaces and resist antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents. Russell Hill and colleagues at Indiana University Bloomington and the University of Colorado Denver have conducted research on N-acylhomoserine lactone quorum-sensing signaling molecules in the bacterium Ruegeria KLH11.
