Suchetha A et al: Quorum sensing www.jrmds.in

The oral microbiota consists of many varied and distinct micro-organisms that effectively strive together through continuous adaptation and interaction with other organisms in their local environment for nutrition and their survival. The biological phenomenon by which they establish this inter-species communication is called as quorum sensing. It controls many traits of the micro-organisms like...

Hormonal anticonception anno 2013: a clinician’s view

Hormonal contraception has recently drawn the attention of both national and international Health Organizations mainly because of new data on the risk of venous and arterial thrombosis. This has, fortunately, not led to a 'pill scare' as happened in 1996 when controversy arose with respect to the thrombotic risk of third versus second -generation pills. This time, evidence on the thrombotic ris...

QStatin, a Selective Inhibitor of Quorum Sensing in Vibrio Species

Pathogenic Vibrio species cause diseases in diverse marine animals reared in aquaculture. Since their pathogenesis, persistence, and survival in marine environments are regulated by quorum sensing (QS), QS interference has attracted attention as a means to control these bacteria in aquatic settings. A few QS inhibitors of Vibrio species have been reported, but detailed molecular mechanisms are ...

A new species of the genus Linoderus Sharp, 1885 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Philonthina) from the Colombian Andes.

The monotypic genus Linoderus Sharp, 1885 was described based on a species from Panama and since the original description nearly nothing has been added to its taxonomical knowledge. The aim of the present paper is to describe a new species of the genus from Colombia and to report the genus for the first time from South America, adding some biological notes of the species.
