Abstract: Quorum sensing( QS) is a responding phenomenon of communication between bacteria,providing a new way to study treatment of bacterial infections. The QS system with autoinducter peptides( AIPs) as signaling molecules exist in a variety of gram-positive bacteria,and is considered as an important breakthrough in development of new drugs against gram-positive bacteria,such as Staphylococcus aureus. The AIP-based quorum sensing inhibitors( QSIs) discovered so far include two types of molecule,small and macro. The recent researches in these two types of molecule in AIP based QSIs were reviewed to provide a reference for developing of new antibacterial drugs.
