"Biofilm production comes to a simultaneous halt across all V. cholerae bacteria, and a new sequence of quorum sensing moves V. cholerae through its infectious process. With this knowledge, researchers are now exploring V. cholerae’s quorum-sensing process as a therapeutic target. For instance, one exciting study demonstrated that overloading V. cholerae with its autoinducer can halt the process of biofilm formation completely, and potentially delay the infectious process enough for our immune systems to catch up. Disrupting the bacterial communication structure is an exciting innovation and practical response to the sharp rise of antibiotic resistance across bacterial species."




Interesting read they are starting to develop strategies, maybe Alex is onto something here
