Associate Professor Yu Tao's group of Xinxiang University has made new progress in the response mechanism of the bacterial LuxS/AI-2 quorum sensing system to disinfectants

Recently, the research group of Associate Professor Yu Tao from the School of Life Sciences and Basic Medicine of Xinxiang University has made new progress in the response mechanism of the bacterial LuxS/AI-2 quorum sensing system to disinfectants.

The LuxS-mediated quorum sensing (QS) system is ubiquitous in bacteria.
