Abstract excerpt
luxS-mediated autoinducer 2 (AI-2)-dependent quorum sensing (QS) has been demonstrated to affect many bacterial phenotypes, including virulence. Streptococcus agalactiae harbors a functional luxS gene required for the biosynthesis of AI-2. In this study, we investigated the regulation effect and mechanism of the luxS/AI-2 QS system in the pathogenicity of the piscine S. agalactiae strain GD201008-001. We found...
