As biofilm-associated infections continue to pose significant challenges in healthcare, industry, and the environment, understanding microbial communication has become essential for developing effective and sustainable control strategies.
Biofilm and Quorum Sensing: Current Trends and Treatment Strategies provides a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying biofilm formation and quorum sensing, emphasizing their roles in microbial communication, pathogenesis, antimicrobial resistance and host-microbe interactions. This edited book brings together recent advances in microbiology, biotechnology, and biomedical sciences to present an integrated perspective on the biology of biofilms and the therapeutic potential of targeting quorum sensing.
The book explains the fundamental principles of biofilm development and quorum sensing before examining their involvement in immune modulation, bacterial-fungal interactions and plant-microbe communication. Later chapters further discuss innovative approaches to disrupting microbial communication, including quorum quenching, phytochemicals, antimicrobial peptides, nanoparticles, and phage therapy, highlighting their potential applications in medicine, environmental microbiology, and industrial biotechnology. The final part of the book considers recent scientific advances, emerging technologies, and future research opportunities for combating biofilm-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance.
A distinguishing feature of this book is its multidisciplinary approach, which integrates fundamental concepts with emerging therapeutic strategies and practical applications. By combining recent scientific developments with translational perspectives, it serves as a valuable reference for both scholars and professionals.
Readership
This book is a reference for searchers, academicians, clinicians and professionals working in microbiology, biotechnology and infectious disease research. It will also benefit postgraduate students and advanced undergraduate students seeking an in-depth understanding of biofilm and quorum sensing.
