QUORUM SENSING ANTAGONIST, METHOD OF PREVENTING A BIOFILM FORMATION USING THE QUORUM SENSING ANTAGONIST AND METHOD OF REDUCING A BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION USING THE QUORUM SENSING ANTAGONIST

摘要

In the quorum sensing antagonist blocking the communication in bacteria, the method for preventing biofilm formation using this quorum sensing antagonist and the method for reducing the bacterial contamination, the quorum sensing antagonist contains the homoserine lactone moiety and sulfanylethanoyl group, and has a similar chemical structure to that of the autoinducer which is produced by bacteria as a signal, whereby the quorum sensing antagonist can inhibit the formation of biofilm and reduce the bacterial contamination as well.
