Quorum Quenching Enzyme (PF-1240) Capable to Degrade AHLs as a Candidate for Inhibiting Quorum Sensing in Food Spoilage Bacterium <i>Hafnia alvei</i>

Quorum sensing (QS) is widely present in microorganisms in marine aquatic products. Owing to the use of antibiotics, many spoilage bacteria in aquatic products are drug resistant. In order to slow down this evolutionary trend, the inhibition of spoilage phenotype of spoilage bacteria by interfering...
