Cholera, an infection caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, is a life-threatening
disease. It is estimated that
cholera affects 3-5 million people worldwide, and causes
100,000-130,000 deaths a year as of 2010. Antibiotics such as doxycycline and
cotrimoxazole have been used to shorten the...

Quorum
Sensing is an essential form of intercellular communication used by many types
of common bacteria, and many pathogenic bacteria use quorum sensing to attack
and invade the human host. Quorum Sensing is used by bacteria to detect a
critical cell number, which is the cell population required for pathogenic
bacteria to release effective...
