A comprehensive profiling of quorum quenching by bacterial pigments identifies quorum sensing inhibition and anti-biofilm action of prodigiosin against Acinetobacter baumannii
Abstract:Bacterial pigments represent a diverse group of secondary metabolites offering advantages to the producers in terms of survival and replication in communities. The bioactive potential of such metabolites including antimicrobial, anticancer and immune-suppressive properties are being explored. Reckoning that several of such pigments are produced in response to quorum sensing mediated expression of biosynthetic gene clusters and do influence cell-cell communication while residing in communities, systemic profili… Show more
