Skogman M, Kanerva S, Manner S, Vuorela P, Fallarero A
Molecules . 2016 Sep; 21(9). PMID: 27626397
Quorum sensing (QS) is the process by which bacteria produce and detect signal molecules to coordinate their collective behavior. This intercellular communication is a relevant target for anti-biofilm therapies. Here...

Hanski L, Ausbacher D, Tiirola T, Strom M, Vuorela P
PLoS One . 2016 Jun; 11(6):e0157306. PMID: 27280777
We demonstrate in the current work that small cationic antimicrobial β2,2-amino acid derivatives (Mw < 500 Da) are highly potent against Chlamydia pneumoniae at clinical relevant concentrations (< 5 μM,...
