What is Quorum Sensing: a New Prospect for the Management of Antimicrobial-resistant Infectious Diseases about?
## Introduction: Quorum-sensing (qs) is a microbial cell-to-cell communication system that utilizes small signaling molecules to mediates interactions between cross-kingdom microorganisms, including gram-positive and -negative microbes. qs molecules include n-acyl-homoserine-lactones (ahls), furanosyl borate, hydroxyl-palmitic acid methylester, and methyl-dodecanoic acid. these signaling molecules maintain the symbiotic relationship between a host and the healthy microbial flora and also control various microbial virulence factors. this manuscript has been developed based on published scientific papers. ## Areas covered: Furanones, glycosylated chemicals, heavy metals, and nanomaterials are considered qs inhibitors (qsis) and are therefore capable of inhibiting the microbial qs system. qsis are currently being considered as antimicrobial therapeutic options. currently, the low speed at which new antimicrobial agents are being developed impairs the treatment of drug-resistant infections. therefore, qsis are currently being studied as potential interventions targeting qs-signaling molecules and quorum quenching (qq) enzymes to reduce microbial virulence. ## Expert opinion: Qsis repre
