Antibiotic resistance in pathogen microorganisms is a major global concern, especially the formation of biofilms. Quorum quenching has been practically used to control biofilm growth, and this indicates a promising hope for the development of new drugs for the control of biofilm-forming pathogens. This book provides a single source of information about two issues: the biology of quorum sensing and quorum quenching, and the perspectives of quorum quenching in new drug development. The text covers the latest literature from the last ten years and insights into quorum quenching and its need in medicine as an anti-virulence strategy.
