| book description |

Harnessing Quorum Quenching for Disease Management explores the process of quorum quenching in disrupting bacterial cell communication and how this mechanism can be utilized in the medical field. This book provides a detailed overview of quorum quenching and quorum sensing, delving into the key aspects of this process including the enzymatic mechanisms and methods available to study these. It covers quorum quenching applications, including the regulation of virulence factors, antimicrobial resistance and disease treatment, and the use of quorum quenching bacteria for medical intervention. It also considers genetically modified organisms to produce quorum quenching enzymes, nanomaterials for optimizing quorum quenching, in silico technology and the impact of synthetic biology, closing with a discussion of the current limitations and future prospects for this field. This book is an ideal reference for researchers and advanced students with an interest in quorum quenching and quorum sensing working across a range of fields, including microbiology, cell biology, biomedicine, biochemistry, biotechnology and related areas.
