Antimicrobial Resistance, Biofilm Formation, and Quorum Sensing: Interconnected Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets

Résumé

This book explores the interconnected relationship between antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation, and quorum sensing, highlighting their major role in persistent infections and treatment failure. It explains the genetic and biochemical mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, the formation and protective functions of biofilms, and the microbial communication systems that regulate virulence and collective behavior. By linking resistance, biofilm biology, and quorum sensing inhibition, the book presents a clear scientific framework for understanding current therapeutic challenges and emerging strategies against resistant microorganisms.
