Quorum sensing (QS) refers to the phenomenon characterized by the accumulation of signaling molecules enabling a cell to sense a bacterial population triggering a coordinated response. Enterococcus faecalis is a resistant microorganism commonly found in oral infections. Salvadora persica has been tr...
