Synthetic furanones inhibit quorum-sensing and enhance bacterial clearance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection in mice.

J. Antimicrob. Chemother. 53(6) , 1054-1061, (2004)

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections by killing the bacteria or inhibiting their growth, but resistance to antibiotics can develop readily. The discovery that bacterial quorum-sensing regulates bacterial virulence as well as the formation of bio...

The use of (5Z)-4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene)-2(5H)-furanone for controlling acid mine drainage through the inhibition of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans biofilm formation.

Bioresour. Technol. 186 , 52-7, (2015)

The aim of this study was to determine whether acid mine drainage (AMD) production can be decreased by (5Z)-4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene)-2(5H)-furanone (furanone C-30) in the presence of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans). The effects of furanone ...
