Inhibiting Quorum Sensing of Bacteria in Healthcare and Industrial Devices Through Conjugation of Anti-Quorum Sensing Molecules to Surfaces

A surface-coating approach for bacteria-free health-care and industrial devices Docket # 15-3136 Bacteria frequently act as members of collectives to create surface-attached communities called biofilms and to synchronously activate the production of virulence factors. Bacterial group behaviors are regulated by a cell-cell communication process called...
