Abstract
This article presents up-to-date information on the phenomenon of intercellular communication in bacteria, its role in the expression of virulence genes and, in particular, in the spread of antibiotic resistance. The basic principles of quorum functioning inherent in all currently known bacterial communication systems are highlighted. The main signaling molecules (autoinducers) of intraspecies, interspecies, epinephrine and peptide communication have been analyzed. The role of blocking information communication (signaling molecules) between bacteria as an alternative to the discovery of new antibiotics against bacteria with extreme and complete antibiotic resistance have been evaluated. Key words: quorum sensing, signaling molecules, receptors, gene expression, quorum suppression.
