Disruption of quorum sensing in Vibrio harveyi by the AiiA protein of Bacillus thuringiensis
2008-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Quorum sensing is a mechanism in which bacteria coordinate the expression of certain genes in response to their population density by producing, releasing and detecting signal molecules called autoinducers. Quorum sensing is responsible for controlling a plethora of virulence genes in several bacterial pathogens. Disruption of the quorum sensing system of Vibrio harveyi has been proposed as a new anti-infective st...
