Quorum sensing – Meetings in the Microbial World
The oral microbiota consists of many varied and distinct micro-organisms that effectively strive together through continuous adaptation and interaction with other organisms in their local environment for nutrition and their survival. The biological phenomenon by which they establish this inter-speci...
