Foreword Since the term “Quorum Sensing” was coined in 1994, the number of papers on the topic has steadily risen. This continual interest over the last quarter century is a testament to the fascination of bacterial communication and the promising scientific advances it represents. For many researchers, understanding bacterial communication represents the promise of new treatment modalities for infections. For others, untangling complex networks of quorum sensing regulatory systems is a tantalizing puzzle to solve. And still other groups of researchers hope to apply their knowledge of bacterial communication to address important environmental issues such as bioremediation and sustainability. Quorum sensing researchers are a broad and multidisciplinary grou
