The discovery of quorum sensing (QS) communication systems regulating bacterial virulence has afforded a novel opportunity for controlling infectious bacteria by interfering with QS. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an example of an opportunistic human pathogen for which N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL)- re...
