A 4-Hydroxybenzoic Acid-Mediated Signaling System Controls the Physiology and Virulence of Shigella sonnei
10 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Shigella sonnei is an important pathogen in human intestines. Following previous findings that some bacteria employ 4-HBA as a QS signal to regulate biological functions, we demonstrate that 4-HBA controls the physiology and virulence of S. sonnei. This study is significant because it identifies both the signal synthase UbiC and receptor AaeR and unveils the signaling pathway of 4-HBA in S. sonnei. In addition,...
