      Quorum quenching drugs, basically drugs that stop bacteria from talking to oneanother. The hope is that doing so makes them weaker, less able to coordinate their behaviours/form biofilms and eventually more susceptible to antibiotics. These are one potential therapy being explored to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
