Quorum sensing exists widely in all kinds of microorganisms and is a communication channel for microorganisms. Many bacterial processes, including virulence factor expression, biofilm formation, and viable but nonculturable (VBNC) cell resuscitation, are mediated by quorum sensing, and biofilm formation complicates the treatment of various infections. Foodborne pathogens can enter VBNC state in extreme environments, and pathogens in VBNC state can evade traditional detection and resuscitate under appropriate conditions, causing potential harm to human health. The disruption of quorum sensing may decisively help control biofilm formation and VBNC cell resuscitation. This review describes the quorum sensing systems of various bacteria and major fungi, and summarizes the role of bacterial quorum sensing system in biofilm formation and VBNC resuscitation. In addition, the relationship between quorum sensing inhibitors (QSI) with biofilms and VBNC is also discussed.
