N-Phenylacetyl-L-homoserine lactone (PA-HSL) (Cat No.: R067588) is a bacterial quorum sensing (QS) signaling molecule, playing a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication and gene regulation in Gram-negative bacteria. It modulates virulence, biofilm formation, and antibiotic resistance, making it a valuable tool for microbial pathogenesis and antibiotic research. PA-HSL is widely used in quorum sensing studies, bacterial signaling pathway analysis, and drug discovery, aiding in the development of novel antimicrobial strategies to combat bacterial infections and resistance mechanisms.
