Abstract excerpt
Quorum sensing is used by bacteria to coordinate gene expression in response to population density and involves the production, detection and response to extracellular signaling molecules known as autoinducers (AIs). Salmonella does not synthesize the AI-1, acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) common to gram-negative bacteria; however, it has a receptor for AI-1, the SdiA protein. The effect of SdiA in modulating...
