Discovery of AI-2 Quorum Sensing Inhibitors Targeting the LsrK/HPr Protein–Protein Interaction Site by Molecular Dynamics Simulation, Virtual Screening, and Bioassay Evaluation

Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication mechanism that regulates bacterial pathogenicity, biofilm formation, and antibiotic sensitivity. Among the identified quorum sensing, AI-2 QS exists in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and is responsible for interspecies communication....
