Abstract excerpt
The most universal cell-cell signaling mechanism in Gram-negative bacteria occurs via the production and response to a class of small diffusible molecules called N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs). This communication is called quorum sensing and is responsible for the regulation of several physiological processes and many virulence factors in pathogenic bacteria. The detection of these molecules has been rendered...
