- QSIdb, a database of 633 reported and 73,073 potential quorum sensing interference molecules (QSIMs) for various QS systems.
- With the large quantities of antibiotics widely used in the past decades, multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as Salmonella typhimurium and Clostridium difficile, has obviously become a global problem threatening intestinal dysbiosis and even human life.
- Quorum sensing interference (QSI) is an effective strategy to deal with infection and disease caused by various pathogenic or even multidrug-resistant bacteria. QSI can be also applied in synthetic biology to realize the population-level control of bacteria.
