Bacterial Quorum-Sensing Systems and Their Role in Intestinal Bacteria-Host Crosstalk

Bacterial Quorum-Sensing Systems and Their Role in Intestinal Bacteria-Host Crosstalk

Quorum-sensing (QS) system is a rapidly developing field in which we are gradually expanding our understanding about how bacteria communicate with each other and regulate their activities in bacterial sociality. In addition to collectively modifying bacterial behavior, QS-related autoinducers may al...
