Quorum sensing LuxS/autoinducer-2 inhibits Enterococcus faecalis biofilm formation ability

Conclusions: Collectively, our studies provide the LuxS gene's key role in controlling biofilm formation of E. faecalis, which presented a negative regulation, and furthermore, providing us a possible way to conquer the persistent apical periodontitis.
