anti-quorum

The final thing is, again just to reiterate that there's this practical part, and so we've made these anti-quorum sensing molecules that are being developed as new kinds of therapeutics.

What we've been able to do is to give these virulent infections, but we give them in conjunction with our anti-quorum sensing molecules -- so these are molecules that look kind of like the real thing, but they're a little bit different which I've depicted on this slide.

By targeting the red system, what we are able to do is to make species specific, or disease specific anti-quorum sensing molecules.

What we now know is that if we treat the animal with a pathogenic bacterium -- a multi-drug resistant pathogenic bacterium -- in the same time we give our anti-quorum sensing molecule, in fact, the animal lives.
